WHY ARE YOU SO THIN?
Growing up I've been asked this question countless times,I don't get why people don't want to get used to it because I come from a family were we are naturally thin, so I don't get why people won't accept that it is not our fault ๐คท๐ฝ, we eat like everyone else and sometimes eat more than every one else but that "fat genes" just chooses to elude us๐๐.
Been skinny is all fun and cute because you eat as much as you want and don't think of adding weight, but then you will realise that in our society Nigeria to be precise we are not appreciated, because "they" love them thick and curvy and even if we want to accept ourselves for who and what we are it's very hard because we are not accepted for what we are. Another disadvantage of been skinny is having a small stature which sometimes makes people think you are younger than your age, let me gist you of something that happened some years back.
So my younger sister and I went out and we met this girl along the way, my sister greeted this girl and me to carry my big mouth and greeted the girl๐, after she passed my sister said " this girl is your junior o, shey u did not remember her when you were still in school ni"??, I said "ehn", then she was like she was my junior back then in secondary school NOT ONE YEAR JUNIOR O, so you should imagine how embarrassing it felt. I mean I can't remember all my juniors in secondary school now, it was like I should go back and "ungreet" her, but then it was not her fault she looked like my someone that was 15 years older than me. If I begin to narrate my skinny girl experiences ehn, it will turn to novel. ๐คฃ๐คฃ
So when people especially guys tell me "I love the way you are" Yes i love the way I am but you guys make it hard for us to accept ourselves completely.
When a girl takes drugs to make her add weight don't blame her because they hardly make clothes our size we end up slim fitting them and sometime spoil the cloth. ๐ญ
When girls do butt, hips or breast enhancement don't blame her because every guy whether they admit it or not loves a thick,curvy babe.
In Nigeria fine girl is not enough o, you have to have either big boobs or big ass for you to really fit in.
Don't blame skinny girls if they do things to look bigger because it is guys that are old enough to be their younger brothers that asks us out ๐ if you think I'm lying ask any petite figured girl you know, they must have experienced it once or twice.
Don't blame any skinny girl that wants to get bigger because what you don't know is people look at us and immediately see you as a small girl, until you tell them your age.
To every skinny, petite figured girl out there I know what you are going through because I am one of you. Just do what makes you happy if you think going under the knife will make you happy do it as long as you don't over do and if it ends up well for you GO GIRL!!!
And to us that are skinny and proud,we will continue eating as much as we like because we know no matter what we can't add weight ๐, and we have the assurance that even after dropping four children with a healthy diet we are still going to be looking like a sweet 16. So we are skinny and proud ๐ช๐พ๐ช๐พ.
One love.
This is so nice I love it๐๐
ReplyDeleteThank you very much
DeleteRight here, I'm appreciating all the skinny ones, love always ❣️
ReplyDeleteThank you,love you too vickie
DeleteYou seem to forget we slim guys too have the same exact issue, just that you ladies love guys that have abs and broad chest. But anyways, I am skinny & proud. Lovely
ReplyDeleteNo now,i didn't forget the guys๐คฃ๐คฃ, let's not just all what the society wants to affect what we are, we can't please everyone, you'll find who wants you for who you are as time goes on.
DeleteBad as it may look , being 'skinny' or petite comes with some pretty good advantage. There is nothing without positive and negative sides.
ReplyDeleteA skinny girl can easily fit into any society , she would just be there living life and no serious attention would go to her.
As a skinny person the age part is an advantage , because until you come out and say this is how old I am , people would assume you are younger and then you get to enjoy privileges of the young too Even while you are old .
Being skinny also saves you from certain public embarrassment , a plus size girl gets more mockery than a skinny girl . Nobody wants to sit with a plus size girl in a plus where four will sit and she already looks like she's occupying two sits already .
So all that can be done is appreciate the good side of being skinny and try to ignore the bad side.
Because nothing goes without having it's advantages and disadvantages , just depends on where you stand ๐๐
Yes,thanks for making me see things in another perspective
DeleteLol๐

DeleteThank you so much Excel for this. I'm also skinny and I've struggled with self acceptance for as long as I can remember. But recently, I've decided to appreciate myself more and stop thinking of how the society should sees me and my so-called "flaws" according to them, but instead how does God see me? Fearfully and wonderfully made. With that, i have peace of mind. Welldone dear.
