It's called... Having fucking curves! I even went to a weight doctor after Japan and my measurements were PERFECT. As in the ideal weight and inches for my height, how else did I fucking fit into a designer wedding dress in a fucking size ZERO.
Anyhow, in light that my husband has been looking up skinny bitches and complaining about my weight I will on such an extreme diet that he'll be thankful if I even touch the fucking kitchen anymore....that includes cooking!
That is crazy. You don't need to diet.
ReplyDeleteTHANK YOU! I have no desire to compete with Japanese women...weight wise...lol. I think Akira is just having a spout of yellow fever hit him...maybe he's bored with crazy ass white chicks, lol ;-). But, seriously, thank you, I've been extremely paranoid that I'm fat ever since he sat me down to discuss my weight.
DeleteJ people are ridiculous when it comes to weight, seriously. They have instituted programs where doctors will scold you at your work-related physical if your height and weight don't match the numbers on their charts.
DeleteI'm a fairly scrawny dude - ~5'9 and 145-150 lbs, but once in Japan I had some J guy make fun of my gut. What gut?
I imagine it's hard when it's coming from someone you love, but try to shrug it off. I don't think most Japanese people realize that are things like "too skinny" and a "healthy weight."
Yeah I think you're right about that. When I went to my weight doctor here after being told over and over in Japan that I should lose weight, he told me that the reason why there are so many hump backed older people is due to being too thin for most of their life, and that he did a paper on how thinness became such a focus in Japan and how it was due to how extremely poor everyone was after the war. The paper made a lot of sense, but I'm sure they would find it insulting if I responded "Oh yeah! Well you're thin due to an on going trend of mocking the post war generation that was starving.". Though God knows I wish I could just pass out that paper when I'm having dinner with Akira's family looool. Oh well. But you're right, after my drunk out burst yesterday, I just figured he'll always be mildly insulting without meaning to be ;-).
DeleteI'm an Anglo saxon married to a J chick with about 17 years living in Japan under my belt, if anyone could be said to have yellow fever it's me, so believe me when I say if I found you in my bathroom in that purple bra you'd have my undivided attention - looking awesome!
DeleteThank you so much blog401!!!! :-D
