A Review

Dedicated to 'us'

Hello everyone, I woke up this morning and was typing my next chapter, as you all know, Batuul is fat, so I reached a place where she's all insecure about it and I know must of us out there feel same, I once did, not anymore. So I felt the urge to write this.

Hey you fat lady out there reading this, you are beautiful, you are wonderful. Don't let anyone under estimate you, don't let anyone make you feel inferior, don't let anyone make you feel insecure, don't wait for others to love you, love yourself #selflove.

Self esteem is very important in one's life, look at yourself and tell yourself you're beautiful. You being fat will not and never stop you from doing whatever you want to do, alone, you can concur the world.

All humans were created to look different, some where created to be tall, some short, some fair, others dark, some slim and we fat. If anyone thinks you're not good enough because you are fat, tell it to their faces that you can do without them, you don't need anyone to define you.

Do not say you won't eat because you want to loose weight, you will end up with ulcer, do not diet and exercise just because you want to please anyone, do it because you want to. It's okay to want to look sexy, but my sister don't over do. If anyone pass silly comments at you that you're fat, tell them Amira Julde said you're an African woman, and the African woman is not slim, the African woman is plumpy, curvy and beautiful. The African woman is you and I. I had you in mind when I wrote that.

Everyone who knows me will tell you I'm fat, and I don't diet, I don't do no exercise, I eat whatever I want to, at anytime I want to. I'm not telling anyone to be like me of course, and I know it's not advisable health wise, but I feel I'm not yet ready to keep fit just yet, and there's nothing anyone can do about it. I will do all these things when I feel like, and if I don't, I won't. Anyone who doesn't like seeing fat me, should suit themselves. Tell yourself that too dear lady. Do not run around slimming down because he doesn't want a fat lady, let him like you that way or leave. Another one that will appreciate you just the way you are will come.

There's nothing like try to look presentable, well everyone has his or her definition of the word presentable, in my own view, fat girls possess the charisma, the aura, they are the word 'presentable' itself, they stand out in a crowd.

So what if you're fat? Others will do whatever it takes just to have the body you're shy of. Show the world you are fat, show the world that you're okay with it, show the world you love yourself. Walk with an air of confidence and I tell you nobody will ever approach you telling you shit.

Don't be upset that the clothes you just collected from the tailor doesn't fit, or the top you really loved and wanted to buy is too tight. Okay it's okay to get upset, but you can always take it back to the tailor to adjust it or buy a bigger size of top. Things cannot almost always be in your favour, some people are so skinny everything is oversize for them, they would love to add a little of the weight you are lamenting about. Look at yourself in the mirror now and say Alhamdulillah.

If you're lazy, don't say you're because you're fat, if you're sluggish it's your nature not the fatness. When shit happens, stop blaming it on your fatness, stop thinking you're not good enough because you're fat, there has to be other factors, or maybe the person or thing is itself not good enough, or doesn't deserve you.

If you were that child that was bigger than your peers, there was definitely someone among the group who was the smallest, he or she didn't mind, so why would you? It's high time you stop getting worked up by some comments, it's high you stop letting some things get to you or weigh you down, there is more to life than just that my sister.

There are fatness caused by eating junks of course, but there are some that are natural, you can't help it, neither can you do anything about it. Will you then kill yourself?

I know of a girl that a family friend passed a silly comment that she should loss weight if not no single guy will marry her, she might end up being a second wife. Seriously? Is that a taboo or what. Tell them anything that happens in one's life is destiny, if you're destined to be so you still will be even if you are as skinny as a broom stick, so if such happens, all good. Others did it before you and didn't die, so you won't.

If someone thinks you're 20 while in fact you're 13, or they think you're too big for your age, tell them your age doesn't define you, and if they think it does, they should deal with it. After all everyone is entitled to his or her opinion, and opinion is one thing you cant change in people.

Don't listen to people when they say you will age quickly when you're fat, have you seen wrinkled skinny people? Ageing depends on your nature most at times, if you will age quickly then you will, whether slim or fat. Of course fatness comes with repercussions, health issues and so, seek for advice from your doctor, don't kill yourself trying to loose weight, I repeat kill yourself not.

To my fellow fat writers reading this, it's time to start having fat lead characters, I dare you to write about 'us'.

Thank you...
