I know and I am sure that I really GAINED WEIGHT these past few months. My primary reason is college. Yup, I blame you college. Our university is being surrounded by lots of food chains and restos; and also my college buddies are very "malamon" when it comes to food hehe. To be honest, before I did not easily noticed it until my family and close friends told me that I really gained weight.
"Ang taba mo na"
"Tumataba ka ah"
"Ang laki na ng braso mo"
"Magpapayat kana"
"Lumolobo ka"
And believe me, there's a lot more lines that I received aside from those.
I don't get the point why people have to ALWAYS CONSTANTLY remind me about my weight or fatness. OO NA TUMABA/MATABA NA! Happy?
As a psychology student (yesss, promote wahaha) I try to understand why they always call me fat. Maybe whenever they say that I am fat, they gain more confidence. Of course they will feel slimmer and smaller when they stand beside me because duh, mataba nga daw kasi ako.
When someone says that I look fat, I always try to reply with a smile. I know you're thinking that "sus, deep inside, nasasaktan yan o iiyak na yan." Sorry but nope. Why with a smile? Well, at least alam kong may napupuntahan lahat ng ginastos ko sa pagkain. Eh kung sa may pangbili ako eh, bakit ka ba? :P I love food, I really do! I mean, who doesn't?
I want to share a story related to my "katabaan". This happened recently between me and my close friend. So here it goes...
Me: Alam mo ba, ewan ko sa inyo ha, pero for me nung nag-gain ako ng weight, feeling ko mas gumanda ako, swear wahaha
Friend: Mas gaganda ka kapag mag lose ka ng weight *insert thumbs up emoji*
Uhmm, ako lang ba na-hurt? Wahaha. That reply of his really hurt my feelings (and fats). It sounded like that I can't be prettier or look more beautiful when I gain weight. WTF (excuse my words) Seriously, WTFF. Your beauty should not be measured AND WILL NEVER BE MEASURED by your weight! Trust me, I know and I saw a lot of beautiful plus-sized women. So I don't think any girl or any person should feel less beautiful because she or he is fat.
And this is not just about the people who gained weight, but also to the people who can't gain weight.I have friends who are really skinny and I'm sure they are also tired of hearing the words "magpataba ka naman" "kumakain ka pa ba?". People, they also try their best to look "better" for your eyes.
When I gained weight, I gained more confidence. I learned to love myself more. I knew that beauty is not limited to my body size and shape. Just like age, weight is just a number. As long as you feel good with your size, go and be happy. Because at the end of the day, it is just you, yourself, who really matters most. Yes, do listen to what people say to you or comment about you but pay attention to the ones that can inspire you to become a better person. One should not feel less of a person just because he/she is fat or skinny. Show them what your fats and bones can do! Let's make this world a better place to live in *insert rainbow and unicorns* ☺️
