Man! My parents have got that bug too! Well, not exactly the "size zero" thing but something similar. Let me make it simple, the craze to be slim and fit! What the hell! The problem is, its with them (the craze!!), but they are trying to get it in me!!!!
Who the hell cares bout cholesterol? (except for those fitness freaks and my parents!)
Right, it started with me coming back home from class (or waking up after a nap)... "Amma, I'm hungry!"
Then eating something, then putting on fat... (A bit of, cording to me, not them!)
Then started with, "you weren't like that before! You were slim! What will you'll be of 40 years? huh?"
Then dad helps mom, "Yea, She'll stop eating then, and try burning whatever was eaten."
Its a PJ dad!
I just smiled, and shrugged... Hoping, it will be forgotten. But NO! I had to come with them. Where else? To walks!
And then yesterday, I realized, I'm typical Garfield's behen. Monday morning blues which make me even more blue by their walk thingy, every evenings! Then came the realizations... "FAT"!
he he... Fat in my tummy, or the butt (Its the "butt" of joke in my house).. My tummy wud wobble when I walked, my fav pant, wont fit me! It would refuse to fit!! And my muscles in my arms, they are awesome, because, its filled with fat and hangs down!
My eyes opened, and I decided to go for dieting. I made my thoughts know to my parents. They just snorted! They laughed at me... Yea.. diet and me... its next to impossible... But then, I'm determined!
I said my thought aloud, and after 5 mins, I say, "Amma, how bout making some cutlets today??"
"Aaaaaaaand she thought of dieting!"
I mean come on! I had figured that its the healthiest thing in snacks! Its not fried, it has potatoes, some veggies, and then roast it. Done. Less of oil!
It got rejected...
Then starts the "harrasing", "Aditi, get dressed, have to go for walking."
I groan and moan, but they are all deaf to their ears...
"6 rounds today!"
I yell, "6 rounds!!!!?" (It IS too much for me!)
I have to obey. What else can I do? But they can do everything! Stop my snacks in the evening, cos who will cook for me but mom? Best is to obey. Kya pata khush ho ke she might make lasagne! he he
The same thing is gonna repeat today. No prediction, but "rule"!
I'll try skipping few steps by taking short cut, and then, dad will speak something from behind... and again starts the story..
Whatever... Its for my good! He says thee was a news that a small kiddo had to take med for cholesterol!! Eye opener (Kindof!!)
So what else can I do? Put on my walking shoes, tie my hair, plug in my walkman (music keeps me going ;) ) and try and slim down!
