In a country where people are obsessed with fair skin and thin women, it is very difficult to be someone chubby, slightly overweight or extremely overweight. It doesn’t matter if you are the smartest person in your batch, if you win a gold medal in something or if you have the brightest personality in the world. You will still face all this.
1. Unwanted gyan
Diet Plan
You always have that friend who will keep advising you on a special diet plan according to your body structure. ‘Mere pass ek acha solution hai tere fat ka’.
2. What’s your size ma’am
Body Size
And when you enter the shop, it is really depressing to reveal your body size followed by waist size.
3. You have a new nick name
Pet Name ‘Moti’
And guys in the college will not call you by your name. Instead, they will always call you ‘moti’.
4. The agony of never finding your size
Size
Oh, I loved that dress! For a country full of fat women, large women or oversized women, it is amazing that manufacturers never make the dresses in XL or XXL. Even if they do the retailers don’t stock them. To find clothes you’d have to go to a specific store that stocks what is being called “Plus” size. Like XXXL wasn’t bad enough. Sad!
5. Special gym packages
Gym Membership
So all the aunties and social friends you know will inform you about the discounts going on around in the gym.
6. Nobody thinks you can stick to a diet plan
Taunts
So when you sit with your family, friends and relatives, they say, Arey ji bhar ke kha le, ek din main moti nahi hoegi’.
7. Stuck with black…like forever
wicked advisors
And when people advise you, Black pehena kar, patli lagegi. Kill such people.
8. You only have jeans in your wardrobe
Indian Dress for Fat woman
When girls around you are deciding to wear short skirts and dresses, you settle down saying, main jeans pehen leti hu.
9. One or two compliments please
Chubby Indian Girl
And your ears are desperate to hear someone calling you sexy. (Yaar koi to sexy bol d0 mujhe.)
10. The marriage tana
Marriage Problem
How many of you have experienced a situation where the ultimate answer is ‘patli ho ja warna shaadi nahi hogi’. So, we can conclude that the age you will get married is proportional to your waist size.
11. Nothing can hug you, not even clothes
Tight Cloths
Although you are beautiful and attractive but the most upsetting part is figure hugging clothes is just not meant for you. You always have to manage with something loose.
12. You’re not allowed to eat what you like but others can
What to eat
Because every time you eat vada pav or samosa, everyone will tell you, ‘Yahi sab Khane se motapa badta hai’. They literally would prefer that you stop eating altogether!
