*F.A.T.*...
My life seems to evolve around this topic. Seriously, I'm not completely satisfied with how I look, but I'm ok with my body because I'm healthy and (relatively) fit (except for my pulled muscle in my back). Anyways, I came across this article on CNN, and honestly, it's hard to believe that there's an obesity problem around the world when you're living in HK. This is the city of scrawny, flat-chested, pasty-white people with ion-straight hair and really strange clothes (men and women alike). The amount of money that goes into slimming treatments is astonishing. It costs about HKD 20,000 on average for a month of slimming (CAD 4000)... It's insane! The slimming treatments just require you to lie there, as the machines exercise for you. Isn't that insanity?
I get so worked up when the topic of "fat" comes up. It's definitely because I get irritated that people value appearances so highly and seem to disregard the importance of character and personality...
I'm so grateful that I've found some really great people that see me as I am... Otherwise, I would've been even more miserable this year in the land of thin. Being fit is one thing, but being constantly reminded that you're a size 6 when everyone else is a size 0?? I don't really get that...
Gosh... I'm getting a flood of phone calls today... What's up with Tuesdays? It seems like everyone remembers that I exist on Tuesdays, but not other days of the week. I've only had my phone on for an hour, and I've had 15 calls already. What's up with that? Actually... It's probably because it's WEDNESDAY tomorrow! Too bad my back's out, otherwise I'd shake my bootie with y'all tomorrow! Maybe I'll just pop in and pay my pal Joe a visit... SMILES!~
