Physical attractiveness is probably the most favourite topic of discussion among the girls whenever they get together. “I’m too fat!” or “My eyes are too small!” is some of the examples of statements my friends and I tell each other during our ‘yamcha’ get-together. Even though in my case, there are guys involved in the conversation, we girls often argue with them about this matter eagerly wanted to prove that they are wrong. But there are times, that my friends, collectively, gave me a I-think-you-are-crazy look whenever I tell them that I’m fat.
True, I don’t look fat when you see me at a glance. But I notice, whenever I gain little bit of weight, the fats often goes to the wrong places in the body. For me, my already chubby cheeks will be chubbier and my thighs will look like a scrumptious main course meal when it’s cooked. Well, maybe I’ve exaggerate the truth. But what I’ve said about my cheeks is true. My trusted friends, again, cohesively said that’s not true. One of the reasons they gave me was “That’s because you don’t have a strong jaw line.” which I do agree because I don’t like my jaw line either. Other friends quietly agreed with me and tried to cheer me up by saying that I look cute and guys love that…hahahaha. And my mom would say that it’s in my genes because my grandma was chubby too.
Other than that, I’m really pleased with how I look, skinny or not. Love my freckled skin although I have occasional break-outs. Love my body proportion although my body seems to be a bit shorter than I wish. Love my ears too. Although it’s small but it suits my small face perfectly without being too obvious. A friend of mine once jokingly asked me whether a pair of earphone could fit in my ears. Yeah. That’s how small my ears are. I adore my photogenic hand and wish I could do modeling with it but it isn’t one of my top priorities at the moment. On the whole, I’m completely at peace with my body most of the time therefore it does not really bother me when people say that I’m too thin.
Recently, I told a good friend of mine that I do crunches everyday in hope I could look good in a bikini which I plan to wear in the near future. The first thing he said was “What? Can’t you fit into a bikini now?” and then followed by the question “Do you go swimming often?” Knowing that I don’t swim that often, I defended myself by saying that I would love to look good in lingerie…hehe. As far as I thought the motive I gave to him was a concrete one, my friend managed to bring about the truth with just one simple question of whether I actually wanted to look good for some one else. Yeah, my carefully kept secret has been exposed! Thanks to a friend of mine. No need to mention name. You know who you are. Although this goal of mine sounds a bit silly because I have yet found someone special in my life, but in my defence, I just want to say that I’m just a girl who wants to look good, just like any other girls would like to look good.
