 The other day I went shopping I met a former schoolmate in the super market he was shocked like he’d seen a ghost I practically had to turn behind to really confirm if all that attention was on me or someone behind me. It was I all right he said I was looking good and I should stay the way I am not to add weight like I used to be in high school that we can now be friends his even contemplating on dating me now,I asked him y now and not when we were in high school, he said he was ashamed back then to even talk to me. we had some chat and we exchanged numbers. While in line waiting for my turn I thought to myself if I was to add weight will I loose the friends I have coz of my weight don’t people make friends with what they feel and see’s in the other persons heart and not what is outside, When we meet people at social level don’t we all choose our friends with whom we think they have a good heart? I admit I let nature takes its cause and am not slim I still got curves. I must confess the love handle is there and am proud of who I am not because I made myself with all the diet but because God has a plan for everything am sure he thought it was good for me to be what I am today than what I used to be. I don’t know what is happening in our African country we are choosing to reading and listening to western culture then we try to emulate each and everything, which is not a bad idea it all depends on what is depicted. For example Why is our dear women trying to slim up in the name of beauty and be practically bones while our male counterpart hit the Gym to put on some muscles …what happened to when we referred to our African beauty in the sense where without the curves you were considered not fed right. I really admire our grand mothers time when all things was well you had to be who you are as God created you and let nature takes its cause. unlike today when everyone around me is trying by all means know to him or her to shed the excess fat to capture our male counterparts. My fellow Africans God created us in his image and we cannot try to emulate something that we are not because he had a specific reason for who he intended us to be don’t you think if he wanted us to be Small or Big he would have done so?. I love that song of African Queen. If only we could appreciate our natural beauty and just try to dress it up according to our body type. To be of Big or Slim body type is not a personal choice that one can live with and be happy with what they are for the rest of there lives it takes hard work and commitment to archive it, and sometimes even after all the hard work in the gym and dieting it never gets to the point one desires. Lets all re-evaluate ourselves and see if that’s the real person you ought to be and let us love each other weather your slim or big, we are all under one love and our creator is One. For the sisters out there who are trying to slim up big ups for you hope your dreams will come true after your hard work and for the curvious women who are proud of what they have and are willing to flaunt it much love to you Keep it African What do you think does size really matter? If yes what is your preference and why? P/s If I was Big I’d still love me(myself) coz it’s the person inside that matters and not the physical attribute outside.
