hi everyone…hope u all r fine and doing great…just one question to ask
why do u want to stay slim or look slim? u r not in showbiz …i have heard some people saying only celebrities r supposed to stay slim because they have their motivation (tv or cinema screen)and inspiration (from other smart celebrities). normal people like the housewives, students what is their inspiration to stay slim? even a lot of young girls r touchy about their figures ..they have their inspiration( ultimately their future husband wud love to see them slim)
what about housewives..i have seen many who dont care about themselves after marriage…they dont worry about their figure…they have one good excuse i have no time now..have to do lot of things…buss shadi hogaye theek hai slim ho kur ub kia krna hai..why is this kind of thinking? what do u people think…
so u gals out there plz do share why do u wanna stay slim?
looking for ur replies with genuine reasonings!
i guess its a matter of choice... some do it for fashion, while others do it to stay healthy... i hate it when i see 35 year old that are so fat that they puff when walking upstairs, have high BP, and dont seem to wanna do anything about it... health is a nemut, ppl sjudn't take it for granted.
i like food a lot, and i dont cut back bcoz of a good metabolism... but if that changes... maybe i'll change my eating habits as well... personally, i think i look better (to myself) then i would if i have been not-so-slim.
I love exercise and it makes a person feel and look incredible. Being on the thinner side helps in staying healthy and being overweight puts a person at risk of developing so many health problems like diabetes.
Personally, it's about feeling good...I'm not at all slim, but wheN i know i look good in my clothes, it makes me feel better abt myself...
Another reason why on a larger scale that ppl want to stay slim is that fat is ugly in our society, pakistani or american...simple as that. Like it or not, ppl do judge us by the way we look..the general conception that ppl have is that someone who cannot take care of thier own health (b/c weight correlates to health more than any other aspect of appearance such as fashion, grooming etc) is lazy and weak and cannot take care of anything else in life, their relationships, school, etc...we dont see htis much discrimination against those who smoke (b/c smoking doesn't show on the outside as much as a poor diet/sedentary lifestyle would)..
Also referring to your first post, there's no reason why only a young, unmarried girl should be conscious of her figure while married/mothers shouldn't be... Couples should be putting effort into their appearance for their spouse's sake, even Islamically, beautifying ones self for their spouse is definitely allowed. But many ppl believe that if ur trying to look decent, then you must be wanting to attract the attention of the opposite sex and obviously, that's a big NO NO for married women, with or without children....
And one last thing.... being overweight is NEVER an intentional or conscious decision.. nobody wants to be fat, some ppl are just naturally chubby since childhood and grow into chubby adults, or find it difficult to break out of their habits, do not want to change their lifestyle, or just have alot more priorities than their weight.
i workout 4 days a week.. and the kinda feeling i get to lift weight... is just unexplainable... i love the pain weight liftin gives.. the soreness...the recovering of muscles.. neat and clean diet... just incredible.. gym is like my 2nd home...and im not praising myself or anything but people who're my friends say i use steriods ... cuz i have all the veins poppin out in my arms and the upper pectoralis muscles.. its just an incredible feeling to be fit.
I have always been naturally slim. The weight I put on after marriage came from indulging in unhealthy eating. Once I stopped the sodas and junk food, I lost weight, eventhough I was still eating. And now I look like myself again. :D It's about looking healthy and young -- not sickly.
Good question. I don’t know why I want to stay slim. I have been told to put on some weight lately, but I can’t bring myself to do it. I don’t know why. I am not even sure if staying slim makes me feel good. I just don’t want to get fat..
Your question provoked some interesting thoughts..
Its not about you look good its about your own health.If you don't eat healthy and don't excercise then diseases will attack you and by the age of 40 you will be athritus patient and you will be sitting oh my ankle hurts my knee hurts. So its better to keep yourself moving and eating healthy.
Agar budhi omar mein kisi kaa muhtaaj nahi hona to excercise and right food ohat zaroori hai.
Therez slim but then therez some people who just get obsessed with losin so much wieght that they even lose their natural beauty...I personally think the word we should concentrate on is "Healthy" not "Slim". Slim gives you the perspective of bones sticking out and all, i mean that could be the way for models to go but people in general dont look too good when they are ultra skinny. Living abroad, there isnt much pressure on one to look a certain way but in Pakistan, its crazy. I have cousins who used to be very pretty and looked healthy but now they have lost soo much weight that they have lost their figures, complexion looks dull and big dark circles...If this is wat everyone wants then they need to rethink their definition of being slim. I am neither skinny nor fat but I get that a lot from my cousins in Pakistan that I should get more slim n trim like "danday jaisay bazu"...I ignore them cuz that just doesnt look healthy to me...
anyways...thats just my perspective...but still...i think obsession with weight is growin into a disease these days....
I am at a great weight rigth now and want to stay the same, becoz I want to loook gud for myself and for me hubby-
I also am watching what I'm eating these days as I want to stay healthy !
