Few excerpts from an amazing short film i had watched a few years ago.The name of the film is 'The F word'(Here f stands for fat.)

Thoughts of  a woman-
'I was so angry with myself...it was one of the stupidest things i had done or tried to do apart from dating a couple of losers.I mean why was i becoming so desperate to lose weight?..Why was i suddenly so conscious of my figure?..Who was i doing it for?..Whose approval was i seeking?..The Society??...they were just a bunch of unknown people..their approval hadn't mattered to me earlier, so why should it matter now??....Just because a few friends and relatives told me that i was looking fat, i had to run to the gym..Why was i behaving in such a foolish manner??..I have never worked out in my life....i am happy with my life..i have no complaints.'

Thoughts of a guy-
'When i was in college i was in a relationship of about 2 years with a girl who was a bit fat and during the entire duration i always met her alone..i never introduced her to my friends...in fact i never even told my friends that i was dating a girl..it was as if i was embarrassed of the fact that i was dating a fat girl...so that tells you of the kind of society i've grown up in or what the society has made me.'

I just want to say this to anyone who has ever been called fat or too thin…if you’re happy with yourself then it really shouldn’t matter what anyone says.I have faced this myself and even did a few stupid things in this regard and suffered some consequences.It's really disheartening to see that even today people are categorized and in some cases even discriminated on the basis of their physicality.A person's physicality doesn't define him...it's his mentality,his words and his actions which matter...Society...GROW UP....SERIOUSLY!!!
