Im talking for all the skinny girls around the world…And when I say ‘skinny’ ..I do
not mean aneroxic-prominent-collarbones-no-curves skinny..I mean petite frame with a
high metabolism..Let me explain it a little bit…Maybe a visual aid would
help…Think Eva Langoria,Halle Berry, Marisa Tomei…They are all gorgeous women, but
on the skinnier side..There have been a lot of articles, e-news exclusives on how
actresses and models starve themselves to get that perfect size.Maybe they are right, to an extent.
But what Id like to talk about is how that affects people who are born skinny and
petite..
This is what happens:
1)There is an article in a magazine
2)People read it
3)They think of all the skinny people they know
4)And boom..They think their friends have a problem.
So, you might wonder what the actual problem here is…Let me get to that…
These articles also talk about the fact that being curvy is in and they give a number
of celebrity examples like Beyonce,which is good.But, now all the not-so-skinny
friends think they are ‘in’,which puts the skinny people in the spot to gain weight.
Now here comes the question, why is it that when the reverse was happening, it became
a big issue, but now when the skinny people are under the pressure to put on weight,
it is not counted as pressure from the society? Isn’t both, putting on weight and
losing weight, because of what the magazines tell you as ‘in’ ,a negative effect on
the society? Isn’t asking people to put on weight an equally negative thing as when
asking people to lose weight was? Both of them could be counted as pressure from the
society.Why are people not bothered about this? Maybe because most of the society
‘think’ they all fall under the not-so-skinny category. ISn’t it time that all skinny
and not-so-skinny women across the world join hands together and say to those
magazines ‘Just let us be, as long as we are healthy and we feel good inside’.
