weight! come back! WEIGHT!

So I haven't blogged in a while, it occurred to me today when i was talking to a friend about her blog. That was around 4 hours ago. Since then I've been trying to think of what to blog about and I got nothing. Nothing until about half an hour ago when i had a little mid-Ice-Cream epiphany (i'll explain). It occurred to me that my next blog should be about whatever has been on my mind a LOT lately. And what's been on my mind a LOT lately? weight. That's right. My weight. 

So to start off, im not particularly fat. I think. That ,or my friends have said "You're not fat!"  to me so many times that now i actually believe it. But whatever, I'm gonna go with I'm not actually fat, okay? Good. 

So anyway, yes, today i went with a friend to Movenpick Mission Bay, he wanted to hang out and suggested we go for some insanely overpriced Ice-Cream. I was more than happy to oblige. It's just the kind of person I am. And while i was eating said Ice-Cream, all i could think of was the fact that this ice-cream would go into my mouth, down my oesophagus, into my stomach and into my intestines where it would be digested. It would then seep into my system with all its calories and since i don't plan on exerting any exercise today to burn off said calories, these calories would then convert to fat and take residence on my ass, face. arms, stomach, thighs & calves. The fat gets to choose where it resides, of course. Choice is a basic right. Not just for humans, but for fat particles also. 

SNAP!! 

I realised my friend was talking to me and i was just sitting there blankly staring at him while i imagined fat moving into my ass. I was like OMG, what the hell?! Who am I? so now im FINALLY getting to my point. WEIGHT! I'm not a professional writer oka? So it took me 3 paragraphs to get to my point, sue me!

When did we become so obsessed with weight?! All my friends and I ever talk about is how much weight we want to lose. And before you even THINK of judging us because of that, DON'T!! Yes, i know, you're happy with the way you look and it's not what's on the outside the matters blah blah and blah Snore! Pull your head out of your ass.

 Don't get me wrong, I'm all for inner beauty. But it's not as important as outer beauty, AND YOU KNOW IT! 

So, yes, i would really like to know when society became obsessed with being underweight. Has it always been this way and i'm just realising/caring about it now that I'm (sorta) grown up? Was everyone happy with their weight until the Celebrity machine exploded in the early 2000's? When/why did this happen? I would really like to know! In the meantime, i have to go change and go to the Gym. I have a cup of Ice-cream worth of calories to burn off.
