For those who've been reading my blogs would know that I've been away from home in Europe for my studies. After 9 months I come back home for the summer. And during this summer, I've gained a lot of weight. 4kg - 5kgs to be exact. I used to be 58kg and now I'm either 62kg or 63kg.
The thing is, people in Asia have a different kind of view of what beautiful is compared to western countries... In Asia, the term beautiful is used for those who are extremely skinny, with no curves, an almond shaped face and straight long black hair. Being an asian myself with most of my family members in Asia, family members and friends tend to be very judgemental about my weight. Giving comments like wow, when you go swimming I can see those fat thighs of yours. Or even, why are you wearing those pants when you're thighs are so big? AND, OMG you've gone out of shape. I have a huge ego. And these comments are just really hurtful and got to me.
Unlike in Asia, Westerners are fine with all shapes and sizes. My aunt who has been in Europe for a long time told me that 'it's alright. Just let them have their say. What's wrong with a little curve? But if you really wanna lose weight, just control your diet and drink lots of water.' I've always been a very sensitive person, but when she said that, I was touched. Even though I wasn't very close to her, her words were so comforting after hearing all the irks from people closest to me. I can't tell you that I don't give a damn about what people say because I do.
Therefore, this post is gonna be my starting point to my goal weight at 52kg.
07.08.14 - 62kg
That's all for now. xoxo.
