Dear ladies,
Dear Gentlemen,
You have hair at unwanted places and you don’t know how to get
rid of them.
Do you feel ashamed of it?
Do you have that unforgivable beer belly and you binge on
alcohol even more to justify it? Do you dream of six pack abs? Are
you ashamed that they are not there?
You have excess flab either in your arms, hips, stomach, thighs,
calves and you don’t know how you’ll ever flaunt that little black
dress? Do you feel bad about it?
Do you have chicken legs, so much so that getting into shorts for
one of those late night movie outings is dreadful? Do you want
better, smarter legs? Do you feel ashamed of it?
You are very very thin, and you have nothing called as breasts,
and you pad yourself with layers so that people think you are
woman enough to have breasts? Do you feel bad about it?
Do you have man-boobs, you are scared of baring it all when you
go near a water body and keep that vest intact? Do you wish for a
better, stronger, firmer chest? Are you ashamed you don’t have it?
You are very short, and you want to stand next to your tall sexy
friends, have long legs that men crave for and you feel bad that
your shoe size is that of a 7 year old? Do you feel sorry about
yourself?
Are you so fat, that you almost resemble a big fat football, and it
is sometimes difficult to tell, where your stomach ends and thighs
begin? Do you love to it, despite that? Or are you ashamed of
yourself?
You are so tall, that you find it difficult to fit in the airplane seats,
you never had a boyfriend because all guys were shorter than
you, and you have to wear Capri pants because the jeans don’t fit
you? Do you feel ashamed?
Are you so thin, that you feel you lack the masculinity and feel
that you are not man enough? Do you feel the compulsive need to
have broader chest and shoulders so that at least you can ‘look’
strong, if not be strong? Are you not happy with the way you
look?
You are fat, overweight, so much, that you have to get your
clothes stitched and you fit in none of the 4X sized clothes
available in the market? Do you have to lie to people about your
health? Are you ashamed?
Are you losing hair, and turning bald? Do you look 40, when you
are barely 25? Do you feel tempted to get those hair weaving
things done to crank it up a notch. Are you ashamed of the way
you look?
You are slim and perfect and you have amazing features, but do
you have stretch marks in unwanted places that make it
impossible for you to wear sleeveless clothes or bare your
stomach or lower abs? Do you feel the need to hide it? Are you
ashamed of it?
Do you not get hair in enough places that define your machismo?
Do you not get chances enough to shave properly? Do people
tease you for being a ‘girl’, because of lesser facial hair? Do you
feel bad about it?
You have a perfect body, flawless skin, lovely hair, you are
endowed with every feature, but do you still hate yourself wishing
you could be still better?
Are you not confident about your private body parts and are
always reading and browsing to make a better impression,
sexually? Do you feel ashamed of your assets?
Do you have huge breasts that guys always gawk at and make you
feel uncomfortable? Do you choose your clothes to cover yourself
up altogether because you think the Indian society is unfair? Are
you ashamed of your breasts?
Do you have pimples and scars on your body and sometimes you
feel you cannot act like a girl getting all paranoid about eruptions
on your skin, yet you feel very concerned about it? Do you
secretly purchase cosmetics and skin creams to address these
issues? Are you ashamed of your skin?
Do you have a flat arse, so much so that your trousers keep
slipping down and you are many times, tagged to be a guy,
because of your physique. Do you feel ashamed of it?
Do you wonder why it is not possible for you to bare it all, despite
being a man. Do you have any inhibitions, and fear of being
judged because of your body? Do you look in to the mirror and
feel upset?
Well!
There are so many things that need to be fixed, if you fall in any one of these categories. Instead of feeling bad and sinking into
depression, there is a sure shot solution to all these problems. There are two, rather. Let us mention them,
You could artificially get any of your problems mended, which may or may not have a side effect on your health. Laser, liposuction, fast
and quick weight reduction techniques, height enhancement, silicone implants, surgery etc etc.
OR
You can accept whoever you are, whatever you have, and adopt a healthy lifestyle, make changes where necessary, and slowly compete
with no one else but yourself and reach goals that you have set for yourself ,without wanting to be someone else. Be healthy, happy and
confident about the fact that you are amazing just the way you are!
