It has been three days since i have eaten a morsel of food. A growling stomach and a chronic headache are now something my body has gotten used to. After all, those are the basic side-effects of a liquid diet. When hunger strikes , for a second you wonder; Why am i putting myself through this???Why is it soo important to be thin? Can fat just be in?
So wish most women and girls.
Why this craze of looking thin? No, it's not the men or boys who need to be impressed. No, it's not even ultra thin models(maybe a little). The root cause of it all is the 'clothes shopping phobia'. Even before one enters a mall or a shop, the first thing one notices is the display. The beautiful clothes on the display, which makes one feel ''gosh i need to have that in my wardrobe''. One rushes into the mall to find the dress, pick it up and hurries into the changing room. But then the bubble bursts. The dress either doesn't fit at all or worse; fits but makes you look fat.Either it's the hands or stomach popping out, or the tight body hugging fitting. Leaves you wondering that 'how did it look soo good on the mannequin?'. Now here's the reason why girls prefer window shopping,
To make things worse, some people absolutely don't understand that you don't, under no circumstances, comment on a person's weight. I have had innumerable instances when a fat aunty at a family function or just an over friendly neighbor goes '' have you put on weight since the last time i met you?". The most embarrassing question was '' Does she have thyroid problems?". The most difficult part is the part when one has to smile politely (as social obligations go) for that comment and mentally making a note to hit the gym as soon as possible.
But at the end of the day, it's not about the clothes or the aunties. It's about you. My main reason for losing weight is the confidence it gives me. I can then look eye to eye in the mirror and smile confidently. Looking good is not just a superficial feeling. It's gives you the power to feel like everything is well within your reach, that nothing is impossible. When one is not self conscious, even socializing becomes easier. After all at the end of the day, it is not the talented or smart one which comes up in life, it's the one who is confident about himself, his work and his body. If honey mixed with water has to be your diet for three days for that, then so be it!
