Losing weight is a permanent obsession for us, perhaps greater than being fair. If you are not thin, you are doomed. But, there is a thin line between being fat and thinking you are fat. When your weighing scale says optimal weight and you look and feel good, then why would you want to lose more weight? Probably because, from the neighbour to your brother, to everyone around you is a weight loss expert. Sounds familiar? We know what you go through.
There is a very thin line between both of these and it's imperative that you know which category you fall in.
In their imagination, you are at least a thousand pounds extra than what you are now, and hence they decide not to invite you to any outdoor activity-Ainwehi!
"Are apki beti to kaafi 'healthy' hai, zara jaldi ladka khojo!’ When your relative keeps on saying this, you start doubting about your weight under pressure.
Your cousins bring chocolates from abroad and share it with everyone but they add a whisper while giving you your share, "you sure you want to eat these?"
The neighbourhood aunty calls you Moti (fat), even though you still fit into the jeans you bought as a teen.
Have a gang that needs to fit in a car! Someone asks you to take the front seat because others are apparently slimmer and can manage to adjust.
Never ever in your twenty years of life has he himself done anything that closely resembles a walk, and now suddenly he wants you to start walking in the morning! Sigh!
Your colleague keeps obsessing about her weight loss plans and boasts about how she lost five kilos in a week, making you feel like a person who doesn’t care a bit about her weight.
He may have no idea about your feelings but if he starts to like someone, who is not you, then it obviously because you gained a few cms since yesterday.
Ouch! Those sarcastic comments at a party do hurt, A LOT!
