*Breathe*...
Breathe in, breathe out... breathe in, breathe out...
I'm so mad. I hate how since my sister's come back, ALL conversations between me, my mum and my sister evolve around weight loss options. My sister lost a LOT of weight back in first year of university, and she now thinks she's an expert on weight loss. My mum has developed a HK mentality towards weight loss and is totally into the various weight loss clinics around town. Between the two of them, I've had it. My sister doesn't eat, she NIBBLES. Granted, she goes and works out... but she barely eats. I'd rather be the way I am and enjoy eating. I'm so pissed off right now, because my mum and my sister just blasted me when I told them about a recent study on obesity and weight loss mentalities in HK. My mum just kept cutting me off and said that those researchers don't "understand"... and who were they to say things. Oh my goodness... I HATE that I have such a narrow-minded mum. It's not just things like this, but she's narrow-minded when it comes to my choice of friends too. She doesn't understand why I don't have more "nice, chinese" friends. No offense, but a lot of those HK people my mum would like me to be friends with don't have the same morals, opinions or aspirations I have. I'm not saying anyone's better than the other, but I know I'm not a typical asian girl. I'm just not on the same wave length as people here. I guess the thing is that I'm much too outspoken for most people here...
Time to get a crackin' on my lesson plans again. Grrr....~
