The Slim Side of Being Plus Sized


The upside about being plus sized is that you can eat anything that you choose, reveling in the fact that food never talks back or down to you!

But the downside

1. Self confidence takes a beating
2. Butt (sic) end of people’s jokes
3. Friends, peer group, colleagues even relatives avoid you
4. Tend to repeat clothes – the ones that still fit
5. Loose clothing takes over the wardrobe
6. Pastries and everything tasty is way yummier than ever before
7. The darn jeans have lost the stretch factor
8. You are not the chosen one anymore in your professional / personal space
9. Evaluate the credit card bill and realize that practically every payment made is at an eatery, supermarket or pharmacy
10. Blood pressure sky rockets, arteries are clogged, movements are slow, edema is at an all time high, hair is limp, skin shows signs of bad eating habits, etc.
11. All-in-all a doctor’s delight but a nightmare for you

Then.....

Time to cut the flab....

Get fit and thin is the new mantra

1. Enroll in a snazzy gym after doing a recce to check out people with a similar frame
2. Puff and pant following the egging on by the trainer
3. Knock out all the foods you love as instructed by the Dietitian – include salads, soups, white meat, limit salt and sugar intake, etc.
4. Your weight loss is noticed by everyone and you are back on the social map
5. However, the stubborn fat refuses to budge
6. Decide to move on to a more “scientific approach” of losing weight
7. Seek a specialist and get a procedure done but... nada...
8. Irritated and disillusioned you decide to stop unnecessary spending and practice the old fashioned method of walking
9. Keep this up for a while and realize that while there is no major change you are now exhibiting a healthy glow
10. Throw out the old clothes, get a makeover and pamper the new you…
11. Acceptance

Maintenance

1. Keep track of the daily eating pattern
2. Enjoy the occasional junk food
3. Follow the steps to the “T”
4. You revel in shopping and keep up with the trends
5. You are now more outgoing

One fine day on a splurge fest with a group of friends you tuck into the best meal ever after such a long time…..slurp … that was gooooooooood!

.........................

You're screwed!

Grammatically Incorrect

In the context of grammar and all that it has to offer, there are a number of us who snigger at someone just because the person’s sentence construction does not meet the cut. Believe me I face flak by many who perceive my phrasing to be verbose. Can blame it on the potholes of my ever so dusty construct of verbs, adjectives, phrasing, simple past, past imperfect, present continuous and so on and so forth! But I try and do all that I can with a never say never attitude. Some may say that I speak better than I write or the other way round and some wonder why I bore them with this long-windiness. Anyway, in time I hope I can join upper end club of the grammatically correct! I now move along to the context of Indianized idioms that are so part and parcel of our heritage. The merry mix of angrez infused with desi tones can make the high end club feel a trifle nauseated. As for me, I am pretty proud of some of the terminologies and guffaw at them heartily. The construction of ‘we are lik...

Well.... Hung

My friends are at it again - bugging me to tie the knot (noose I argue). I keep on about how I don’t want to get hitched. Here are some of the constant suggestions that I am forced to deal with on a daily basis and my rejoinders… • Look at how happy we are. Happy is as happy does (my response) • Skepticism is not going to get you anywhere you know. So who wants to? • There is this friend of a friend. Yawn! • One bad apple doesn’t spoil the whole bunch. Who said anything about fruit! • You know what we mean! Yeah I suppose but seriously I ain’t looking. • That’s what we are here for then! Thanks. But there is something else we can talk about. Why the same old? • Talking about old, you aren’t getting any younger. So, who cares! • Don’t you want to grow old with someone? For him to tell me that I ain’t getting younger, huh? • What’s with you? Don’t you know we want you to be happy? Who said I’m not? • Now listen carefully we aren’t giving up so don’t ...

It Is Election Time - No Chance of Watching A Rerun For Sure

Just another day in the life of an average person who wants to watch a rerun of Friends but has to make do while flipping from NDTV, Tiranga, India Today, Times Now, Mirror Now, and the rest. I live in hope that I can watch my reruns again! Will have to wait for the 23rd! Okay, I get it, watching television is not everyone’s cuppa today, though many of us mere mortals still turn on the television to watch a program or the other, especially the news, at this point of time, with elections going full gusto. In my life, while I would love to watch reruns of old comedies, Mum watches the news. When I asked her the other day, why not watch WWF instead - I explained that it is way cooler than the mudslinging, she looked at me as if I had lost my mind. What can I say, Mother I replied. My thoughts were, aren’t we slowly losing the plot while getting drawn into debates? I avoided saying anything more, or I would have been drawn into a debate! We are gripped into this frenzy based on rhe...

Deliciousness

When it is mango season practically everyone indulges. The vendors with their carts, fruit shops, malls, multi-specialty stores are laden with the finest. Seasoned folk make a beeline to get their money’s worth. You can bet that if you are stashed you will have your cart filled faster than the speed of light. When we were kids, the house was filled with baskets of the lovely fruit. We chomped away and licked the juice that dripped down to the elbows, moving on to the next. There was no reason why we couldn’t have more than one after lunch, dinner, and breakfast, tea, anytime! Today, the prices of mangoes have skyrocketed and vendors refuse to budge; we have no choice but to pay the price and give into this yearly greed. At this point of time, not many us really concern ourselves with the additional pounds and dive in. Why cut back on the goodness of nature! I diet (uh uh) and exercise (some) for the rest of the year, which hardly provides me with the figure I yearn for, but I keep on...

The Quiet Kid

The Scene – School The Target : Quiet shy girl The Reason : Bored Why her? Why not her? This was the directive given to a group of girls who were feeling the pressure at school with low grades, acne, peer pressure, dieting, problems at home, boyfriend problems, hormones, etc. They wanted to shift their attention to something interesting that was out of their routine. “Look over there at Sally she looks really weird today doesn’t she?” said Martha. “Why she looks rather radiant and I don’t like that. What could be the reason I wonder?” exclaimed Maryann angrily. She thought she was the pretty one and Sally was looking way too good for comfort. “What say we go there and annoy her a bit,” said Cynthia. “Yeah lets. It is getting way too boring here and with the tests around the corner. She is always so with it - her high scores and all” said Tina. So they walked across to Sally and questioned her about what she was reading. “Whatcha reading Sally?” asked the gir...
