on the heavier side

so i’m on the heavier side.

i tend to stress eat and i keep busy with work and school so i’m stressed all the time and i eat all the time. and i’ve never had complete 8 hrs of sleep for the past 10 years I think. well at least not consistently. 

so again i’m on the heavier side. and i don’t love it but i don’t hate it either. i don’t punish myself over being overweight but as we all know, the outside world, social media and our surroundings, even those who love us, can have a tendency to make us feel bad about ourselves. 

i’m not sickly and i don’t just lie around. i do promise myself every now and then to be healthier because i’m not getting younger. i used to go to the gym and exercise and i used to run a lot but somehow due to some things that happened, there had to be changes in my life that changed all of those semblance of a lifestyle i used to have. i miss running but waking up early for a run is hard because i have work in the daytime and school at night. and there’s really no gym in the province and well even if there was, would you risk it in this pandemic? 

i try to exercise at home when i can. i love walking the dogs at night but not too far from the house of course. but i eat a lot so i guess not enough. 

so i’m on the heavier side. 

the point of this story is... 

one day, i had a meeting with the school administration as the student council president in our school on a weekend. 

at the end of the meeting, as i was saying my goodbye, the school director teased me about getting fatter or bigger. i laughed it off. but then he warned me that if i don’t slow down, i might become like the administrative staff of the school who happened to be there, implying that I was getting as big as her. 

i’m writing this not just out of irritation with what the director just said in front of this wonderful and smart woman who have helped so much during the meeting and would always be so helpful to all the law students, but out of disappointment to myself that I didn’t defend or helped her as much as I could have. Instead, I acted shocked and laughed with those teasing me as if out of habit...as if it was amusing to be compared to her. It took a few seconds before I could stop and realize what my denial or laughter could actually make her feel. And so I answered, “Ok lang naman po” [It would be fine]. 

But I really wish I could have confidently said, “There is nothing wrong with that. I would be honored to be as wonderful, smart and kind as her” because that’s the answer she deserved.

At a staggering 340 pounds and a Body Mass Index of 42.3, William Howard Taft wasn't just the heaviest president in U.S. history. He was also the "first celebrity weight-loss patient". Like many dieters today, Taft, 6 feet 2 inches tall, lost weight and regained it, fluctuating from more than 350 to 255 pounds. He was 48 when he first contacted Dr. Yorke-Davies, and spent the remaining 25 years of his life corresponding with the doctor and consulting other physicians in a quest to control his weight.

Here is my grumpy older sister. As you can see, she is shaped just like a #tootsieroll . She is 12 now, and she has had her food intake limited since she was 3. She’s just naturally #bigboned 😂 Also, did I mention that she was a #grumpydog ? She’s not a typical #bostonterrier at all. She doesn’t play with toys, y’all! I’m thinking she might be some sort of #alienlifeform 🤣. This is her favorite spot to be. #bostonterriersofinstagram #myhashtagstellmystory #dog #dogsofinstagram #rounddog #dogs #dogstagram #dogportrait #portraitmode #blackandwhitedog #smooshface #bostonterriercult #oldestchild #dogchild #mykidshavepaws #lazydog #lazy #happywednesday #wednesday #wednesdaymood #dontwakethebaby #dontwakethebeast #badattitude #brachycephalic #dogmood (at Mooresville, Indiana) https://www.instagram.com/p/B76U7jVHVeL/?igshid=14u931z62zvt7
