"I'm fit not fat". This is a slogan many women need to
remember. Being thin has become a fashion statement. From
the rich to the poor, every man and woman these days aim to
be in good shape. But are you getting obsessed with it? Are
you on a track to starving yourself? Or the societal norms
have pressurized you to loose weight before you can find a
suitable match ?
It came as a pinch of pain when Suzanne reported "I was
shocked to hear that my maid's daughter had been rejected
by more than 8 guys as she is little chubby. She is having
tough times in finding a relationship."
Though a general health awareness is required, but it is
suggested by experts that one should not go overboard. If
one is healthy, active and free of any ailments or symptoms
of any diseases, then being overweight by few pounds
doesn't matter much. If you are really worried of your
looks, then don't forget that you can always wear a
clothing that will make you look slimmer. Ask or consult a
fashion expert.
Now, you can go on to join any weight loss or fitness
program but there is no need to be obsessed or overwhelmed
with it. Start out slow, maybe just shooting for 1 or 2
workouts a week. Once you have successfully added that to
your normal routine, then attempt to slowly add to your
fitness program. Plus, most women don't need to exercise
more than 3-4 times a week. That doesn't mean you can't
exercise more; it's just not necessary. Also, attempting to
do too much too fast is worse than doing nothing at all!
You may begin feeling that exercise is too hard and its
just not for you. So, if you think of joining a weight loss
program try to keep things moderate in the beginning. Also
educate yourself on how to exercise correctly.
We need to realize that every woman cannot and need not
have a perfect 'model like' figure. And there are much
better goals in life to aim for. Don't try to compare
yourself with others. Some women are genetically thin with
a higher Basal Metabolic Rate. Now, being healthier and
trying to be healthy is always an important thing in life
but weight is not the only parameter to judge your health
and fitness.
Mr Smith working in a fitness center faces a lot of
problems, "Almost every day girls come in to join one of
our several weight loss packages whereas they have normal
B.M.I. [ Body Mass Index ]. Even parents are keen to get
their teenagers to join our programs. They demand a good
shape at any cost. But I feel by the look of face of those
girls they are either stressed or depressed."
In fact , in modern world mothers don't want their
daughters to lag behind in terms of the looks even though
their daughters don't want to become models. We as parents
should learn to appreciate our daughters as they are and
give them the confidence that they don't need to look
beautiful to prove themselves.
It's high time that we change the parameters of judging
women. Next time someone comments, lash back in confidence
'I AM FIT NOT FAT'.
