Survey
YES
NO
We love to hit the chords. We had no idea; this topic would be so
close to people’s heart! Sometimes we struggle in getting responses
from our own people and sometimes ther e is such a huge response
that we are forced to put a few comments to let you know how touchy
the topic is!
So we put out a question in the open asking ‘Are you happy with your
body?’ And we were seeking answers in just Yes or No. No
explanations, nothing. But like they say, you get what you want when
you don’t want it. So we decided to use the comments and follow-ups
in this post, after all, it’s a common situation, it’s everywhere.
Before we mention that, here are the survey results

Are you happy with your body? Yes or No?
18
‘Katai nai. Bilkul nahi. Kya puchh liya tune, rula di..’
‘A big NO’
‘Not at all, you kidding me?’
‘Ufff.’
I am happy with my body. Just this little bloated tummy. If it
weren't there... it would be perfect!
‘Ask me after three months, I’ll say Yes! Abhi gym lagaya hai!’
‘Can I say no? You won’t put my name, right?’
I kinda feel ok about my body. I have a little extra hair, but that
doesn't make me too unhappy. I am cool!
‘NOPE. What makes you ask this question?’
I think, my good looks and features have been affected by the fat
I have put on. It adds a little age on me too. I don't quite like my
pictures either.
‘NOT AT ALL. HATE IT!’
‘So much to change. So answer is NO!’
Umm... People just stare at my weird flabby tummy all the time.
My toes look horrible and my hair is too voluminous. I could have
a better nose too, and perhaps a better complexion. I could do
away with the pimples also. Nonetheless I love myself. And I love
the pics in which I look slim! :)
‘Hahahaa… Haahahahaa… NO!’
I am happy the way I look. I was slim earlier, and now I have become
plump, but I am not complaining. I am happy with myself because my
people love me. My husband, my family accept me the way I am, so
why complain?
And a few of them said YES in confidence, and we are proud of
them, for being comfortable in own skins!
I like myself the way I am now. Earlier I used to be very thin. My
husband said, I'd be sexier if I put on some flesh in the right places.
Whenever I saw my weight and inches increase, I would rejoice!
Why did you ask me such a question? Oh, I don't like my body at all. I
have a list of things. I have extra flabs, my lower body is heavy, I am
kinda happy that I have a sexy upper body though. But lower body is
really embarrassing. Clothes don't fit me well. Also, my hair is too
thin. I wish I could change these things.
Am I happy with my body? It depends. I feel happy when I look good
and there are times when I hate what I see in the mirror.
Happy with my body? NO!
What kinda question is that? Am I happy with my body? Yes. Mostly. I
wish I had thicker hair, though!
