Being FAT!!

Being fat has both its advantage and disadvantage. For me, i have grown used to it. Though i secretly hoped deep down in my heart, that one day i will be able to shed of the old skin.

"I get to sit in front because i am fat", is my favorite line all time whenever i have to cram into a car full of people. You can imagine that one of me is equivalent to 2 skinny people. Thus, allowing me to enjoy the spacious seat beside the driver.

The joy of getting praise to how i can dance the samba is precious. Mainly because i am fat, my bottoms move a lot with a small movement, giving it the flow and curviness of dancing samba. Obviously, being fat does not stop me from dancing.

However, people always say unpleasant things to me. Such as, :"you can't do this lar, too fat" or "Don't do it, it is only for skinny people." I admit, i lack the stamina to do many sports, but that should not hinder me from doing things i know i can do it.

Eventhough i love dancing, i have to admit something. It is that even able to dance, i usually can never fit into the costume. Many a times, i have to squeeze into a really tight dress, or expose the flabby arms i have.

Certain sports require alertness or being fast; however, sports that allows you to dance at your own pace are those that i can do. Simply because i am able to set my own timing, giving me the sense of accomplishment whenever i finish doing it. Such are Taekwondo and Latin dancing.

In conclusion, i have been fat for so long that i got used to things. Eventhough i might not be the best dancer or best sportie, i love doing those things because i am enjoying myself.

When you enjoy yourself,
EVERYTHING is POSSIBLE!!

Yes my dear! being able to write about it means to be able to accept and acknowledge, our good and bad qualities. Very important step towards self-confidence.
