Being Fat!!

Neha is a most gorgeous girl I ever seen, I thought, being a little jealous. I mean look at her. Her elegance has enchanted every onlooker in this party, it's like she has the power of tantalizing everyone. Their she is wearing a spaghetti strap dress stitched to perfection that brilliantly fits her hourglass figure, it flatters her curves even more and makes her look like ravishing diva. She manages to be in the lime light due to her well proportioned body.
Huhhhh!!! Its all about the body, isn’t it? I thought as I saw Neha and my few others friends making their way towards me. How I wish I possessed a figure as great as hers, guess some girls have all the luck. Its not only Neha who always gets noticed, it's the same with all my friends, accept me. As Neha came closer she said ‘hey fatty’ in a sarcastic tone and started chatting with her girlfriends, whereas I sat there cursing my self, shrinking in the appearance of my perfect friends. Her acrimonious remark made me feel worst about myself. I had always felt intimidated around them, less confident and at times odd. Maybe it's because I am not like them, for I know they make fun of my huge hips and bulky body behind my back.
This is the story of a depressed teenage girl who is angry with herself. Unhappy with her own body. She wishes she could have a perfect figure like her friends that would draw people’s attention towards her.
Another girl Ramsha was telling her friend how she got dumped by her boyfriend: previously Hassan used to pay so much attention towards me and now all of a sudden he has changed. We have been going out for more than a year and yesterday he just ditched me to go out with another girl in my college. Hassan said that I resembled a fat potato and no one would like to date someone like me. I am devastated I so envy Muniba’s looks (Hassan’s new girlfriend). I have heard people saying that she eats like a cow but still manages to look so skinny. But now I’ve made up my mind, I am going to do anything and everything to get slim, I would go on a strict diet to macerate my body. Even if I have to starve myself, I will!
I am sure there are many teenaged girls who would relate to the stories of these two girls. Look around you and you will find fine examples of such people. Maybe it's your friend who keeps obsessing over her weight or maybe you yourself have a complex of this sort. In today’s world it has almost become a mind set of youngsters that if they want to be accepted everywhere they ‘have’ to appear slim. To accomplish this silly target they take a nonsensical approach towards it. Sometimes they go on useless crash diets, starve themselves or take supplements which are not only harmful for there bodies but are also of no use.
What we fail to understand is that it's not our outer appearance that makes us stand out from the crowd, its our personality, the way we are with people and our urbane manners. It's better to feel elated for what we have, than to brag and boast about things we don’t. Yearning to be like someone won’t make you like them. Transience of beauty is a recognized fact, it will not stay with you forever but what will stay is your true inner personality that would enrapture everyone. Appearance does matter to an extent but it should not be forgotten that what makes people important is their uniqueness. I think its totally wrong to whine about ones own body and then go through the trouble of starving themselves just to impress and be excepted in a certain group.
C’mon we all are different individuals and should be accepted for who we are, not how we look, if you are not getting to hangout with your so-called friends and are being ignored just because you are fat, then do hell with them. They are not worthy of being with you. Cheers!
