I'm Still A Size Zero

"I just got rounder, but I'm still a size zero." - Eva Longoria

Allow me to echo the Hispanic beauty's response to people's comments about her recent weight gain because like Eva, I have noticeably put on a few pounds to my formerly 95pound bod. People around me can't help but notice and comment on how I look these days --- meatier and rounder --- at least, compared to how I looked like four months ago --- skinny, sickly and ghastly. Sometimes I get sick of hearing people say something about the way I look perhaps because it's said in Tagalog. "Tumataba ka" just doesn't come as encouraging or flattering in the least bit. In fact, it sounds way depressing than you can imagine. Let's face it, girls are extremely sensitive about their weight and they flip out at the mere thought of putting some meat into their bones. It's the end of the world for girls to know that they are getting meatier. Sadly, I am one of these poor creatures who get affected by such remarks. But you know what, I'm sure people can do us girls a favor and be kinder by keeping their discouraging comments to themselves.

I know that I'm no longer that girl who looks like she's suffering from consumption. That girl has (unfortunately for me, fortunately for others) added 10lbs to her weight making her look better and healthier according to her loved ones [citation needed]. I am not fat, I know I'm not and I'm far from being fat. Weighing more than a hundred pounds does not make me or any girl fat. I should be weighing 125lbs because I stand 5feet-4inches "short," which means... I'm 20lbs underweight! I'm not fat, I just have to firm my soft spots --- tumtums, arms and thighs. Other than that, I'm perfectly fine.

In reiteration (and conclusion if I may add), "I may be 10lbs meatier, but I'm still a size zero."
