Re: Desi women
I've often heard desi women say, "Oh it's okay, I'm not young and I'm already married. You young girls are the one who should be taking care of your looks and figures because of rishtas."
They believe that just because they're married and have managed to get a man....that they don't have to work on their looks anymore. I'm serious, some women feel that way.
And even some men stop going to the gym after getting the girl....because well, they got the girl. So no need to work out to impress anyone.
I'm not saying everyone has this view, but some people do. I personally don't agree with it. Your health is way too precious to let go. And your health is connected to your self-esteem and even various aspects of your marriage. It's essential to take of your physical well being....it correlates to your emotional well-being as well.
