I am starring at an old photo in one of my album and I can't seem to rub off the thought that I have added weight or let's say grown some sizes bigger. This has been my greeting over the past few days, "What are you eating? Wow, You've grown big!" With such exclamations you feel like you resemble a pig or maybe a close relative. This got me thinking, is it okay to add weight maybe grow sizes bigger because with the way people put it, you can run to the nearest chemist and buy yourself some slimming tea or pills.
However, the right question is what is the right size? because telling a lady that she is fat or thin both come out as an insult. Many ladies are always wallowing about weight gain and how they need to cut weight or basically slim up their sizes. Is this because the world portrays the perfect figure is of a skinny girl of the perfect height at the Beauty Contests and the rest short and maybe well endowed African babes, South American beauties and other beauties who are not size 2 are basically Fat and unattractive? No, not really! I believe that whether you have added weight or you are well endowed with good size of hips and behind, you are the perfect size.
Hmmm... eventually I have to terms with my new established figure and have had to accept that times have changed and hence the body structure. I am not necessarily fat compared to the photo taken three years ago but I have acquired a new beautiful figure that may not fit in the dress worn in that photo to be exact. So for me, the perfect size is the size that you as a person are most comfortable with and not the ones at Miss Worlds or Miss Universes or at the billboards but the one you see at the mirror and smile.
