Italian designers agree that bigger may be better
i m heartened to know that fashion designers are starting to sit up and take notice of the fact that to be extremely thin is not a healthy thing.
this has always piqued me, which culminated in a poem i wrote back in Fm 3 which went by the title 'Fun to be thin' and was published in the now-defunct youth segment of the NST i.e. the YouthQuake section. it was meant to be a satire so i should not have not been surprised when it provoked some criticism from some girls back in school - that i was jealous of thin girls and i had no point to the poem. if the irony in the poem was lost on them, then it's their loss. (no pun intended)
anyway, to underscore my point, there's nothing wrong in being thin if that's how you were born. and nothing wrong with wanting to look that way and working towards that goal if that's what makes you happy.
but above all, health is the most important thing and if you sacrifice health for transforming into an emaciated and frail skeleton, then i would ask you: is it really worth all that? or spending time puking into toilets since you won't let what you eat stay down and in the process get horrors! FAT?
there's got to be more to life than that. and there is!

I always pity those souls... In my encounter with them, they are incredibly ignorant on what health means. Worst of all, they are bimbos; Beauty seemed to be the most important thing in the whole world. Some people go on diet and exercise for the sake of health PLUS beauty (Special package if you must say) but these people only have eyes on beauty.
Then again, I pity these people, they let appearance determine their worth.
@raven angel: i guess it's a lot easier for people to measure their self worth based on appearance, rather than going into themselves and finding out what really makes them worth who they are.
in any event, a lot of us forget that if we don't have health, we do actually miss out on having a good life.
