Why are you so thin? The world has always been obsessed with slim people. Thin people. People with just a little fat – in the right places. I have often wondered why thin people are thin and fat are fat. I can comprehend shapelessness – or lack of body toning. But cannot understand why some are bony thin (me) and some happily plump. Though many would be quick to say heredity or genes, I am not so readily convinced. I remember being called thin all my life( it’s not been a very long one yet, but nevertheless). Perfect strangers dishing it out with a hint of envy, acquaintanes exaclaiming that I would soon become invisible, friends and family with concern in their voices. I have by now learnt to take most of such comments in my stride. Well.. sometimes I do wonder if I look quite alright or not. I then stand in front of the mirror and look critically, puzzling. I turn to my husband, absorbed in his laptop, asking if I appear too thin. Rubbish, you look perfect, he says without looking up. I turn away satisfied. continuar…
