I think I can talk about this topic since I've been there. I may look "skinny" in people's eyes now but I used to be chubby back in high school. I guess it was during puberty so I kept eating and eating. I ate like a mad girl everyday after school.
So I know how it feels when people say "you are fat". People at school never said I was fat but relatives would always say that. Every time they see me they would say "you are fat, you should lose weight". I think I got to the point where I can't stand these comments from relatives anymore so after my HK trip during first year of university I decided to exercise and eat less. I never went on a diet (no such word in my dictionary), especially when I love to eat. I believe you can still lose weight without cutting out your favourite (fatty) food. Just don't eat too much of it, control yourself. People say starch makes people fat so I stop eating rice. I eat it from time to time but rice isn't really my thing. I prefer noodle over rice. Losing weight is not easy, it takes time (for me at least), gaining weight is like super easy though.
To me, the best way to lose weight is to have some kind of motivation or goal. Sometimes I buy clothes that are a bit tighter so I'll fit it later on (not the best way), I do fit in some of them now and some are a bit loose. Before I would set a certain "dream weight" that I want and try to reach it. Now, I just want to look good (no fat bouncing everywhere) and be healthy. There is another motivation and my friend said it's a good one. If he sees me again, I want to show my best (I think most girls think that way?)! =) No matter how tired I am from my workout I just have to think of that one motivation and smile. I should thank that person.
I don't like going to the gym because I don't like it when people are around when I'm exercising. I just like to do my own thing at home. I mainly do stretches (not sure if it works), and other stuff which I forgot what they are called. I stop exercising once I feel like I'm ok "skinny" and exercise again when I feel fat (just another way to say I'm lazy). =)
I remember I told this friend how much I weighted and she said "that is heavy, I always keep myself 100lbs or lower." I'm thinking uh...well...you are kinda short so 100lb is ok for you but I'm ok tall for an Asian girl...so I think my weight is ok...? If I was 100lb I think I'll look like I had nothing to eat for a long time...and that is for sure underweight for me.
You know what's weird. When I was fat, relatives keep telling me to lose weight. When I lost weight, they tell me to eat more food, too skinny... (What do you want?) I realized they say that after they see my hands lol. I was born like that, I just don't have fat there, just bone wrapped with skin (look like those starving kid's hands ><). I still have tons of fat somewhere else and I hide them well sometimes. I have been eating a lot lately and my weight has skyrocketed. Need to stop pigging out and exercise more! That's what I say to myself everyday...
Anyways, that's just my experience. If people say you are fat, you don't have to go lose weight, who cares what they say. As long as you are happy with it, that's all it matters. I mean everyone is pretty in their own way. Being fat doesn't mean you aren't pretty, there will still be people that loves you (for who you are) or maybe finds you cute. I think I attracted more people when I was chubby... However, if losing weight does make your health better and feel better, then be my guest and go for it. I support you all! =)
Typed this in March?
Random moment, people always say she is fat, so what? She tried to lose weight before too but now she just want to do what makes her happy. I think she is beautiful the way she is. Do whatever that makes you happy. Some of her songs are good.
鄭欣宜 Joyce Cheng - 女神
"你既自然閃亮 沒有說謊 為什麼需要世人饒恕 自信迫降
不要低頭 光環會掉下來
你是女神 不要為俗眼 收斂色彩
不要講和 威嚴會碎下來
從前下放身段 祈求換到 的真愛
不要失儀 溫柔到最後來
你是女神 優雅地撥去 一切的感慨
他不過也是 很小的舞台 你配有大愛
望 任意望 如若你 累了倦了 快學著我講
人類看不起 我都好看"
