so ive been in japan for about a week now and things have been exciting but during my stay, ive also noticed things that are bothersome.... one of the main things here is body image. im quite disturbed by the shallowness of the media and people here. its pretty ridic. back home i consider myself average? i mean.. im not obese but im not a pin either right? im pretty healthy, but here im apparently GIANT. like what is up with that? shoes here run in S, M, and L!? uhh id like to know that japanese people dont come in just three sizes!? p.s i tried on a LL and it was too small -___- im a size EIGHT! not TWELVE!! hello?? oh yeah and i never knew that pants sizes started at size 22!? i didnt even know that 22 was a legit size!? and people here dont have the courtesy to keep unpleasant comments to themselves. im constantly told by my family about how i used to be skinny and how my legs are fat now and shit like that... thats just ridic. im pretty sure its an asian thing? they just like to be openly judgmental about body image and i think thats wrong!! so what i dont look like a model or w.e at least i can eat a meal without throwing it up or surgically enhance my body so that its "perfect". so thats something that i had to rant about because its dumb and people shouldnt be thinking like this.

June, you are far from obese or even needing to lose a few pounds. You are one of the thinner ladies I know, but that's not to say you're unhealthy either. What you need to remember is you're an asian girl who grew up in Canada: our diets are completely different from theirs, even if you do eat asian food at home or whatever. Diets make a HUGE difference. So yeah, if you had lived in Japan this whole time, I guess you'd be a bit thinner. But I'm glad you're not cause you're a fuckin' fox the size that you are.
ReplyDeleteI understand your irritation though cause I feel the same way. I am definitely "fat" by Vietnamese standards, every girl there is a waif.
Anyhow, this is long and .. long.
lot's of love!

ReplyDeleteAlso, agreed! Size is just a number! dont judge people on their size, its a giant waste of time!
