.:. Beauty VS Beast .:.
Fat, for self or others?
I weigh 53kg still, phew. With the training schedule in Signals Institute, I'm starting to worry that I might get fat. The lack of PT, except for our daily 1.6km run, and sitting in lect rooms all day dosen't exactly make one very fit huh. Sometimes, I do miss the PT that we get during BMT, but that's besides the point. I am now afraid of getting fat, that I try to control snacking between lessons, afterall there is no outlet to release the extra energy.
Which one day set me thinking, why am I scared of getting fat, or other ppl in general too. Then it dawned on me, how most of us are scared of getting fat, not because of our health, but because we want to look "nice". We are all scared of getting that extra flabby layer on our tummies and thigh area, with the ultimate behind it to impress other ppl. For me, its cos I am afraid of losing my shape. I know it isn't exactly health concsious, but ya. I can't help it, with so many abs floating infront of my eyes everyday. The least I could do is prevent myself from looking too cui right.
Anyway, see the difference in choices ppl make now. When given the option of chossing to be healthy so we cut down on our unhealthy foodstuff, we instead rather pick because we want look handsome/beautiful so we are scared fat. Isn't that kinda ironic. We place our lives, to say it extremely, below how we want others to look at us. To impress others first, save ourselves last. Is this how the society has now made us into, a "materialized" generation where outlook spans above all.
Some might say that there is nothing wrong with this choice, for it serves both purposes. Well that's true I guess. There's nothing wrong with wanting to look appealing, only wrong in wanting too much. Which is why I am rather against plastic surgery and all. Anyways, as long as the person does not go overboard (i've been eating my proper 3 meals in camp, and guilty of more on weekends still), it should be alright I guess.
It's jus appaling how society has shaped our choice-making process into nowadays. Looks over health, Beauty or the beast, your choice.
