Would You Rather Be Skinny Or Sexy?

I am re-posting this very popular article (9,420 hits to date), as I continue to get comments from both sides of the fence: skinny and sexy. More than half a year after I have posted it, the girls in my family have continued to be conscious about it, myself included—though I can only be a sexy mom (less sexy or sexier) and not skinny.
My 3 girls are on the other side—skinny. They have been targetting a weight below 100 lbs, and everytime I hear this, I feel I am obese. One of the girls has succeeded and kept her weight below 100 lbs, one is almost there, while the more endowed one is still struggling to lose a few more pounds—everytime I and my friends tell her that she is fine as she is, she would simply not believe. There is one thing though that is common among all 4 of us—chocolates! chocolates! and chocolate! Who would give up chocolates, anyway?
So, here is the article, originally posted on 21 April 2007.
I found my daughters whispering to each other:
“Are you doing it right now?”, one asked.
The other replied, while another one nodded in affirmation:
“I do it all the time.”
Curious, I asked them—“Do WHAT?”
The three of them replied at the same time “Stomach in.”
“Oh”, I said, relieved, “I do, too!”
.
It’s funny, and sometimes painful, how conscious we women are about our figures. And that includes my daughters who are only 23, 16 and 14. We wear torture devices girdles (every now and then, admit it) until we can hardly breathe, and stilettos, even though they pinch our toes. Who are we trying to impress?
.
I heard my daughters say they’d rather be skinny than sexy, and that to be considered “sexy” is not an in thing. Ouch! Should I now aspire to be Skinny Mom rather than Sexy Mom?I wonder what made not only them, but many others feel that “thin is the new beautiful.” Of course, at a young age, girls are conscious of what guys think. Also, all the models in fashion magazines are unnaturally thin.And what about the “shrinking” trend in Hollywood? Actresses who were interviewed said that samples of designer clothes only came in size Zero, and they go on diets so they won’t have to buy bigger sized clothes.
.
Models with a body mass index (BMI) below 18 were banned from the runways in Milan and Madrid due to the death of two models. One of them collapsed backstage because of heart failure. Her family said she ate nothing but tomatoes and water. These events made the whole world aware of the dangers of the obsession to become thin. However, Paris, the fashion capital of the world, refused to make the same restrictions, and models that were skinnier than ever were allowed to walk down the runways. I know that some girls have the genes to thank and were born naturally thin, but these people are one in a million.
.
I don’t think that being body conscious is only for impressing members of the opposite sex. My eldest daughter says she assumes the “stomach in” position even before going to bed. I wonder what you, dear friends, think. Ladies, would you rather be skinny, or sexy? And guys, is skinny beautiful?
I would love to hear from you!

i’d rather be sexy like you, of course! you see, to me, sexy is a state of mind. you can be fat or skinny yet still be sexy. whereas skinny, is a mere physical state—your weight at a given point in time. not all skinny can be sexy. but sexy can be skinny or not skinny because it’s how you carry yourself… in other words, it’s all in the attitude.
p.s. my hubby prefers women with curves. when i lose weight, say, after getting sick, he’d say: honey, you’re so “kuluntoy”!
sexy mom: i tend to agree, no, i mean, i agree!
I’d rather be…malaman. Ewan ko. I know I’m fat, but just shedding a few pounds would do the trick.
I don’t want to be skinny because I don’t think it’s attractive.
At ayoko rin maging sexy kasi baka maging habulin ako ng mga kalalakihan, nyahaha!
So what’s more beautiful between the two? Hmm…Whichever the individual thinks she’d be beautiful in.
Personally, the person’s personality is what’s really beautiful, because as what purplegirl has mentioned, it’s all in the attitude.
sexy mom: true, true, i was VERY malaman once, and i felt i was still attractive.
Of course I prefer to be sexy and I just read somewhere that round is still a shape…hahaha!
sexy mom: round is always a shape!
The pressures of living in a male-dominated society.
I always hate it when my gf asks me whether she’s fat or not. It is the one question that I fail to answer without getting hurt.
I’d rather be fit and healthy. I don’t mind putting on some more weight as long as I don’t get big, bad, bay bulges. I like the way extra flesh stretches the face just a bit. haha
And yes, sucking/tucking up my stomach when I stand and walk is almost second nature to me. Hirap lang gawin pag nakaupo.
sexy mom: until it hurts (LOL)
Are they really conscious of what we think? Well, here’s what Vince and I think:
Skinny is not beautiful.
It’s, err, yucky.
It’s just weird that even the skinny girls aspire to be skinnier. Wait, that’s not weird. It’s SCARY.
sexy mom: the BOYS (my 2 boys) have spoken!
how come both your girlfriends are skinny? =P =)
sexy mom: and the GIRL (one of my girls) is being defensive.
skinny is not that attractive. gotta have curves, imo. hehe. skinny is only ok if its the healthy-looking kind of skinny, not the malnourished-looking kind of skinny.
sexy mom: and another MAN has said his piece.
I would love to be sexy. I wonder why many girls are always slaves of diets and tons of beauty regimens.
sexy mom: blame it on TV and glossy mags and other media!
I forgot to add … that I’m one of those slaves.
sexy mom: oh dear! please, please…
I don’t want to skinny, I want to be fit.. healthy, I want to know that I worked for the body I have.
I would say I’d rather be ‘sexy’ because honestly.. who would you call sexy? I rarely hear anyone calling an obese old man or women sexy.. haha.
sexy mom: or a bone and flesh person, sexy.
@mox: Hindi kaya skinny si Aya. Bwahahaha.
sexy mom: now, BA, you are reacting!
lBA: lagot ka! haha!
Bakeeet? Sinabi ko naman “hindi skinny.” Wala namang masama dun, diba? Hehe
Haha. It’s just that you wince whenever someone says, “Parang tumataba ka ata ah.”
And sometimes, to catch someone’s eye, you have to be attractive.
But I agree, you don’t have to be skinny to be attractive
Btw, sexy kaya si Aya!
I’ve given up on being a size 8 (Brit sizing) a long time ago, let alone a size zero (size 6 equivalent, I think)... I do exercise but my mummy tummy it seems to me are here to stay… unless of course I visit Dr.Fixme… not!
sexy is definitely way more beautiful than skinny! i pity those girls who starve themselves to death just to look like they’re already half-dead! and besides, based on experience, men like curves, they want something they could squeeze. hehehe!
if you can handle the temptations, being sexy and healthy is definitely better. the attention and the compliments you get from time to time can be overwhelming though.
I would rather be sexy than skinny. Plus healthy. Besides even I wanted to be skinny, I wouldn;t be because of my large bones. I would look like something from the night of the living dead. heh
Anyway, my husband loves me for what I am. Whether sexy or way too fat.
I’d like to be healthy and fit. I think that’s sexy. So now I’m trying to lose the extra baggage, not to be skinny, but to get to that healthy weight and size
i’d love to be sexy. Skinny is not attractive at all.
When I was younger, I used to be sexy daw, but always thought I was fat. Women/girls tend to think that way…I wish I knew then what I know now , then i would have loved and cared for that sexy figure then.
Anyone within the acceptable weight looks sexy to me. I “walk the mall” for exercised regularly with all kinds of seniors and they are not thin, but still very sexy, because they are in good shape.
(most of our indoor malls are open to the public before store hours for walking exercise at least three hours in the morning)
I have the same problem with my girls. I told them as long as you don’t go over the BMI, you are fine.
I still like you being a sexy mom. healthy & fit, i think that’s sexy. still working on it, but seems getting farther can’t help not to eat. wink*
Pretty girls you have there.
Trust me, it isn’t so much fun to spend time with a woman who has a very low self-esteem whether she’s fat or skinny.
I think sexy is a state of mind… If you’re comfortable in your own body then you exude sexiness regardless of waist size. As far as being skinny, I think it’s a cultural thing… African Americans like voluptuous women and so do many other cultures. But I guess the influence of the west is catching on. Nearly everyone wants to be unhealthily thin, which I personally do not find attractive as well.
I do however want to lose weight… Not Kate Moss thin though.
I would rather be sexy; but in your own ways. Like, even if you are decently dressed, you can be sexy too.
(:
i’d prefer ‘sexy’, too
i don’t want to be skinny co’z i don’t like seeing my bones showing all its glory.. and besides, i’m tired of being skinny!
Neither the 2 ! As I always say, we can be sexy on our own way and be confident on what we are! Skinny doesn’t mean you will be a better person than others! Anorexia and bulimia are one of the major problems of our youth today (especially in here). To avoid gaining weight they often take pills, skip meals etc.
On the other hand, obessity is not an exception too ( in other countries as well). I guess what we need is to keep fit, do a lot of exercise, and most importantly to stay healthy. I’m sure if we accomplish them we will not become skinny or fat but just the way we wanted our body to be!
P.S.
Please tell to your children Tita they are beautiful in & out and be confident about it
!
@mox: my girlfriend’s not THAT skinny, she’s a little above 90lbs! hahaha!! well, maybe she is, but she has a little laman naman. nahahabol mo na nga siya eh :))
definitely sexy.
I’d rather be sexy!
Sexy is feeling it. Having the attitude. The confidence. I am sexy
I’d rather be sexy! I don’t know but media really has a great part on this … my daughter who’s only 11 is already conscious bout her figure … Although I try to discourage her.
as i was reading your post, i suddenly thought about the milan and madrid incident nga.. it’s ok to be skinny but not to the detriment of one’s health..
but to be honest, i’m quite happy to know that skinny is becoming IN in the Philippines. i was always the skeleton or the bamboo of the class.. the malnourished child. and from the comments above, it seems difficult to associate skinny to beautiful and sexy.. it has to be known that skinny persons have their own kind of sufferings too.. when i was younger, my sole dream was to gain weight.. but as you see, even after Louna, my weight stays untouched.
when i arrived here, i suddenly became beautiful and sexy, every girl friend asked me what my secret was.. and when i say i eat a lot to maintain my weight, they thought i was being proud.. then i understood that it’s a national dilemma to look like a supermodel here…
i stopped worrying about my weight now, i just accept how i am.. and oh, it just feels oh-so-good! being sexy is a state of mind… frenchguy thinks im sexy, and so i am hehe..
I’d rather be sexy all the way! Sexy no matter the size, catches attention, and turns heads. I have never found skinny to be attractive. I like curves!
I’m just in between—not skinny, not plump…this sounds better that overweight—and I’m happy with that. I’d like to be sexy, but I don’t like wearing high heels anymore—it’s torture. Skinny? I can’t be skinny…I can’t give up my chocolate chip cookies and ice cream. LOL
Skinny is not an option for me, I am very greedy when it comes to food. hehe
I like to think that sexy is a state of mind, one doesn’t have to use her physical appearance to be sexy, I use my charming wit kuno.
But we live in a society where being thin and having a pretty face will get you places, that’s unfortunate but the harsh reality, alas!
Beauty lies on the eye of the beholder, but for me i kinda find chubby women attractive.
I guess after a teenage life of looking at fashion magazines, i lost the common perception of beauty on a sexy figure, cuz for me circle is still a shape right. Lol.
But i would still would want a girl to have a good figure, to make her feel confident and healthy.
Thanks Ate!
Living on tomatoes and water? Yikes, no wonder she collapsed. This post reminds me of the Karen Carpenter movie I saw when I was a kid. Even if I wanted to be skinny (I don’t) I would never go to that extreme. I love food too much haha.
And your daughters are so pretty! A 14-, 16-, or even 23-year-old doesn’t need to diet.
I’d rather be sexy, i.e. fit without fat.
I went shopping in Pinas when I went home last year, to my shock there are so MANY stores which only stock sizes that will only fit my arm. A Pink Soda staff even approached me to inform me they do not anything in my size. Thankfully she was very well mannered, so I didn’t feel humiliated. I was disappointed though, they had many blouses I really liked.
My ate said that that’s how it is Pinas’ version of High Street fashion. I couldn’t believe it, why would women want a 10-year old’s body size?
Skinny or sexy is a sign of good health and I believe so…..what do you think Sexy Mom?
I’d rather be healthy. I’m more concious of my inards now and I’d like to have a healthy heart, I think everything else follows because if I’m healthy I would feel good about myself and feel sexy.
Being skinny is more for the admiration of the peers than attracting the opposite sex. When I mean skinny, they are the ones who are proud to be under size 2 and would give up eating to be a size 0.
I’ve seen documentaries of different ladies from different age groups who are anorexic. And it’s not just being fashionable anymore, it’s an obsession.
You girls are all beautiful!
I’d love to be thin but not skinny.
I’d love to be sexy. While attitude has a lot to do with it, I sure could do away with some inches. L
Are those your daughters in the pics? They’re all so pretty!
sexy mom: i have 3 daughters, Toni (aside from 4 boys).
uhhmmmm lemme see… I like to be skinny and sexy.
Skinny but not malnourished of course.
But that is just me liking “something”. I am pretty much okay with what i have now. Though I really really want to get rid of my big tummy hahahah
sexy mom: and the tummy is another issue
I’m neither skinny nor sexy. Paano na ba yan?
I think I need help. 
sexy mom: but you have a Nice Heart, dear.
Girls aspire to be as skinny as this girl. Shudder
I have a skinny friend (she has a superdupermega fast metabolism). She always complains that she’s too skinny.
I know i’m sexy so i’d rather stay sexy that become skinny LOL
Ang totoo nyan, I can never be skinny again like I was in college haha. I’ve been trying though to be more health-conscious by watching what i eat and exercising.
i guess being sexy is just a matter of the mind. you can be sexy even if you’re fat or skinny.
As for me, sabi ng hubby at anak ko sexy daw ako…I’d like to think I am but not the sexy that hollywood or local stars are stressing on. I can be sexy in my own way.LOL! I have admitted the fact that I can never regain that 24-inch waistline I had during my debut but hey isn’t a 28-inch waistline just right since I hava a kid already and sabi ng mga friends ko malakas naman daw ako mandaya eh
sexy mom: true! true!analee, sexy is relative. wow! 28” waistline is not bad at all!
Hi SexyMom! I’d rather be sexy because I already am haha :p
Seriously, that is the reason why I never pushed through with my mom’s dream of me becoming a model. I noticed that most of these models are actually not eating anymore which for me is unhealthy. Food is good and delicious so why not eat it? hehehe
I also hate it when some of my girlfriends complain about them getting fat so they choose to not eat for lunch tapos bigla magkakasakit. I’d rather be as sexy as Shakira than be skinny as… errr… Wilma Doesnt? hehehe oh well..
Btw I might post something about the FQD pcitures I’ve received with images of super skinny models. Katakot!
sexy mom: you would have been perfect for a model, with what you are endowed now!
it´s a nice post dine,....thanks for sharing.
skinny or sexy….......i don´t know….i want to be sexy but please not skinny….
how to maintain, skinny??? oh, i can´t, cause my hobby is eating…...lol…..sekse?, just never mind as long i eat what i like,...lol..
as long i am healthy.
here, mostly the teenager, they will not eat anymore or do something that they will not become fat…..
now,it is already a law that nobody can do some beauty surgical OP below 18 yrs. old, even though with the consent of the parents…......
sexy mom: buti naman there’s such a law there in germany. bakit naman kasi kababata pa, magpapa beauty surgical OP na. that is the key word—healthy!
do you remember the friend of Kim, Mara? she is also sexy-slim conscious….. careful what she intake….lol…......my kim too,,,,,,my god, they are already soooo skinny…........
i wanted to be skinny because its easier to wear different kinds of clothes… but i accept it, not everyone has the “genes” to be skinny…
i understand there are some insecurities and worries (what others think), cause i feel it too.. but health is more precious than anything! if its not healthy, why continue to aspire for it? And honestly, curves and extra flesh are much much much better than bones. And feel sexy! your body will follow.
Hi Sexymom! Posted some pics of Skinny girls in my blog and errr.. it’s a bit scary hehe
sexy
i think women, models, without curves are too bland. too boring for the eyes,
sexy curves give out that “umph” effect. it has that spunky appeal that would make every other guy, or girl even, take a second (third, fourth) glance.
pencil thins… no i’m sorry but i just don’t find them “admirable”.
ex: Victoria Beckham. she’s like deathly thin now! I heard that she went through an 11hour flight with just “tea”. HUH???
I think she looked way more beutiful back when she wasn’t just a walking skinned skeleton on Gucci.
well, there are basically two groups that ive noticed.
one group is the group that thinks that the bigger the curves, the sexier. they like curves.
the other group is the model-thin group, who think that being skinny is everything.
im pretty skinny myself, but naturally, and im in the healthy range. not too big, not too small.
i cant say i dont want to be skinnier. there are anorexic and bulimic girls where i live. i wish i were thinner, but when i tell people my weight, they say that its very small.
i used 2 be anorexic and i am only 12 , ive learned that life sucks and people only want to hurt u
!
Honestly, it doesn’t matter as long as you possess a good looking face bwehehehe! Yung may face value joke!
The sexiest girls are slim and athletic. Low body fat does not mean unhealthy, quite the opposite. You can have a very healthy low fat diet and look great or you can keep sitting down and chewing on the snacks and guzzling soda pop and try to convince yourself that fat is attractive. Besides NFL linebackers and Sumo wrestlers, athletes are generally pretty trim.
In the grocery store I see what people are buying. Carts are filled with all sorts of sugary pre-packaged crap and soda pop. That’s what people eat these days. I ride my bike past a McDonalds and that place is always packed; usually with fat people. How can people stand to eat that stuff? Not only is it loaded with fat and grease and poisons, it quite simply tastes horrible. I see my fat neighbors drive to the McDonalds too. They live about 800 feet from the place and drive. No, they don’t stop in for coffee on the way to work, they drive there, eat, and then drive home. No doubt just in time for some more TV. No wonder everyone is fat!
Try drinking water instead of carbonated sugared poison. Try eating actual food instead of who-knows-what in a plastic bag. Try turning off the TV and doing something.
You don’t need to diet or stress out. Just eat real food and get some excersise. In no time at all, you’ll look great and feel great. It’s not the big problem people make it out to be. BTW, real food is a lot cheaper than pre-packaged poison.
[...] sexy and healthy”, I am sharing here an interesting response from Joe Carroll to my post, “Would You Rather Be Skinny or Sexy?” “The sexiest girls are slim and athletic. Low body fat does not mean unhealthy, quite [...]
i guess people assume that being sexy or simply having curves means being fat… in my opinion, its ok to shed a few pounds for self confidence but not to the point that you’d end up looking like a lollipop…
the notion of having a waistline 24 should be eradicated. i mean we all have different body structures.. some may look good with that kind of waistline and some might look like they’ve been on drugs.. sabi nga mom ko.. dapat proportional…
also a piece of advice to those who are trying to impress guys.. they don’t actually focus on one part of your body, rather they look at you as a whole packaGE….:)
SexyMom: true, Camille, pity some people—to the extremes, they have become psychiatric wrecks, victims of commercialization.
First of all, why should I be SKINNY, if I can be SEXY??
I see a lot of people spending thousands of bucks just to grab the new trend of diet pills. They want it just to look totally SEXY—up to the state that they become SKINNY.
SKINNY AND SEXY for me is fine that is, as long as you are healthy.
But to be bias: Face it: not all people look good on being Skinny. I agree with Camille..SKINNY is not always healthy. you will even look like a walking Chopstick! Being SKINNY IS TOO MUCH…BUT BEING SEXY IS a sign of being healthy…so why should i be skinny if i can be sexy?
Hi, Sexy is nothing to do with size, sexy is the person inside. A well sculptured, athletic body is a great, but if the person is shallow it is a waste.
Skinny to the point of ribs showing, sorry but the Keira Knightley look is sad, it is the emaciated look. Like an unfed and ill treated animal.
We are all made different for a reason and big can be as beautiful as slim, but skinny is not beautiful it is sad.
A hint to you girls out there, men like something they can hold. Skeletons need not apply, be healthy, there is nothing wrong in being thin, but skinny is unhealthy to the same degree as obese. Be sensible, enjoy life, love who you are and above all else be sexy. We love sexy and we love you being you, not what the media push as being sexy, at it’s extreme it is repusive to most men. SORRY!
I’d much rather be sexy but Im that one in a million who is naturally skinny. I can eat nothing but Mcdondals for a week and stay the saame weight! It seems the fuller girl or the more curvious girl gets the guy-not the twig.
I will be honest. I have experienced both sides- being skinny having much more fat in my body than what I am suppose to. It was first grade when I was weighed at school and what I found out then was that I was 84pounds. This I thought back then was too much for a little girls. Until third grade I started running around the block and I was growing, but I lost 10 pounds. I kept growing and with my exercising until the time I was 9-th grade my height was 5.8 and I weighed 105 pounds. I was dieting since I was 13 years old. I do have big bones, because I didn`t have any fat left in me and they were sticking every where. One summer the color on my face changed- it was yellow and I turned sick from the lack of vitamins and minerals. So then I started eating, but with the time and the puberty going away I gained a little bit more weight. I am always going to blame that on the system, because there is no incuragment for young kids to exercise. They closed all the schools that were offering you to play sports or otherwise closed their doors for already grownup kids. All i had left to do is just look at what the rest of my friends were doing- smoking, going to the coffee shops, looking after boys, simply just watching tv, drink sometimes and all the rest of bad habits that today`s society has to offer. I gained weight, which was considerably normal, but not too much, I wasn`t sick anymore. However, after a stress situation, that lasted for about 6 months I gained 60 pounds. Then I realized that I had to start exercising again. It didn`t help, because I couldn`t lose any of the weight. Every bite I was putting in my mouth I could see on the scale. I could feel how I was getting sick this time from having too much weight. I was breathing harder, I was having trouble with physical things like running for longer time, walking for longer time, swimming the way I used to, because I was getting tired too fast and could not catch my breath.
One thing I learned- you can`t be too skinny or too heavy. Either way is not healthy. I love dancing and I don`t like the hard core exercising as many other people don`t. After losing 40 pounds from the 60 I gained I feel much better with my body and myself confidence. I feel healthier, but I will tell you the truth. I am sick tired of all the junk food I see in store shelfs, I hate what they do to the kids and how they laugh at them for having couple of extra pounds.Also all the chemicals they put in our food. Sometimes it is the parents fault too. My mom always use to tell me I should be skinny, because my dad left her after she gained couple of pounds. On the other side I read recently about this girl, which was 8 years old and was 400 pound. This is just not normal. What do we do to our kids? Do you think this girl is ever going to feel well in her skin? I don`t think so. There are many of us that are over weight and look great, I look great,but if you are 200 and up pounds and you think that you won`t look better or feel better without the what-50 pounds less, possibly all of it is fat, you are probably lying to yourself. I don`t want to sound too critical, I do not approve being skinny, I approve healthy weight. Having too much fat is not healthy, not for your hearth, not for your immune system, not for your bones, not for your skin. It applies the same if you don`t weight enough. You have to calculate. If you are 1.60m tall you should weight between 50 and 60 kilograms the most to avoid having extra fat in your body. If you are 1.70m you should weight between 60 and 70 kg the most.Don`t be thin, but don`t be fat, be healthy and you will see the difference. You will feel also sexier than ever.
When I was a teenager, I wanted to be skinny. I pretty much succeeded to the point of being too skinny for my own good. To be honest, it was fun while it lasted but I don’t want to go there anymore.
Nowadays, I’d rather be drop-dead sexy. Who doesn’t? I want a bit more in front and a little in the back. Size? An 8 would be fine. My husband (and a lot of other men..men ha not boys) wants some flesh on my bones. My only shortcoming would be curves..gotta have those too
Teenage boys are just the same. They want muscles!
ok, my honest answer is skinny.
i was on the heavy side before and it’s not easy especially when i was at mall shopping for new clothes.
I am for the ideal. I’m 35 with 3 kids and I now weigh 128 lbs. The doctor said I’m overweight because I’m short, less than 5 feet. She told me it’s a 100 lbs to 5 feet plus 5 lbs for every inch.
id rather be fluffy and curvy
i love myself now,better than when i was a teen or younger,i was a lil skinny kasi
but anyway,it is the matter of handling yourself..
skinny or sexy,its how you “carry” it i guess
oh what a grand debate..i think size doesnt really matter.;sexy or skinny..its how we carry ourselves that counts..its just a matter of confidence..but given the choice..im definitely for being a sexy !!
I think I would rather be fit and healthy. I try to just maintain a weight that is right for my height and age (there is a calculation for this). There has been so much pressure to be skinny. We see it in hollywood actresses and is perceived to be beautiful. Healthy is the better way.
well can i be just right?! hehe honestly, I would want to be skinny. (sad but true!)
but i will not NOT EAT (tomatoes & water? eeww)
hehe
nakatawa….heheheh
stomach-In…heheheh
ganoon din ako, pag meron tumingin, Stomach-IN….para sabihin na Slim, but not Skinny….
for this time, i weigh only 47.8 kls,....but i won´t worry, kasi pag maka kain na ako, balik naman ako more than 50s kls…...
ako pa, hobby ko is eating…..
choco. ang dami dito, minsan wala ng tumingin, kasi takot sa Tumaba…....
isa na si ako, ingat kasi mahirap magpa-Slim but not Skinny…..lol
when we meet, punta tayo sa choco.shop, kain tayo ng choco, ok?
bye n tc…...
Hi Dine,
I’d hope to be healthy sexy, but I sure wont mind being healthy skinny as well:)
This post reminded me of the post I made about “The Power of Beauty” (linked in my name above).Just my ramblings about our seeming preoccupation for trying to look good.
I’d rather be skinny…
According to the media these days “Thin is in”
So basically, skinny = sexy anyway.
