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!

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

Remote Rehab Watchers

What really annoys the sibling, are the soaps and serials I’m hooked onto. She’s like ‘why can’t you watch something informative instead of the usual jazz’ that I (supposedly) watch. What can I say - I’m a couch potato and love the title. She waits for a while and once she notices I am away from the remote she pounces and grabs it. I was too slow for that one! I hate this situation. Makes me feel so helpless, but I have to stay put otherwise you know the drill. She’ll fight and I will retort and cold shoulder treatment for a while. The poor sucker (the remote here) will have to face the wrath. I placate myself with the ‘anyway we have another television’ so I rush towards it and see the remote in the hands of the other sibling. I never win! But I have a new idea I will hide the remotes so that they don’t put me in this situation ever again. I wait for a suitable opportunity and hide them only feel two pairs of eyes watching me (like hawks). Why people are so sexist with the

Will We Change?

The tears, sorrow and pain on His face we ignore Pretense with - that’s a picture, are you so sure? Nonchalance is the stand that we take When will we change and stop this act of fake? He was born to a simple innocent virgin called Mary And His foster father Joseph a poor carpenter Something that we could never ever do It is so difficult because we so love this zoo! At the chosen time when he gathered His disciples together to join Him By His example they embraced His commandment When questioned about this by the learned many He simply replied 'love one another' is the best of plenty. Joining the people, scholars and clergy at a general place He taught them simple parables many did not embrace The idea was to get Him out of the way To pave a road to riches and make their day. They plotted and planned and chose the easiest betrayer Who kissed Jesus his Master, The Savior Thirty pieces of silver was their solution The end result a conscience - a rope so in

Narrow Path

When I look at your arms on the cross stretched wide Your eyes filled with love encouraging us to drop the divide But no matter which way we trudge You love everyone without even the slightest grudge. Temptations all around enticing us with its wares How do we ignore these pangs and stop its glares? Many ridicule us because of the road we follow Help us set an example and travel the path of straight and narrow.

Cheating

Why do people throw good relationships for a quick roll in the hay? This practice seems to be growing and practically every second person in a committed relationship doesn’t think twice about two timing his/her partner. However, when they are “found out” these individuals don’t think twice about promising the moon and once forgiven you can be pretty sure that they are gonna do (sic) the deed again and again. I think that once they go the entire hog, they just aren’t gonna curb their enthusiasm! Cheaters know their partners will relent no matter what. They preen themselves with having “won”! However, if a person cheats on me, I would tell the jerk to beat it. Rather be single, keep your dignity intact than stick with some douche bag. Not my cuppa … What about you my lovelies?
