It was the end of the decade - 1969 to 1970. Twiggy's starvation look was not really catching on but people were now appreciating "skinny" as "sexy". For a 12 year old fatty (me) that was not a problem. I just did not care. I ate rice for breakfast, lunch, snacks and dinner. My papa was really upset as my "career" as a ballerina was fast disappearing. My father used to say " who would dare lift you if you're so heavy?" Oh well. I just did not care. Eating chicharon was more fun anyway. Thus, at 12 going on 13, I was 15 pounds overweight, enrolled in an all-girls-school, feeling like a country hick from Taytay Elementary school and "crush- less".

ReplyDeleteI still can't grasp the reason why my 12y.o. cousin and SIL are on a DIET! MY GOSH! I'm 26,fat and a mom but I don't take DIET seriously.
ReplyDeleteako naman, i used to be thin. my sisters would often call me Palito. Pero it's a different story now. My niece would often tease me that I'm starting to look like Janice De Belen. Hindi ang fez ha. Ang katawan. =)
ReplyDelete@ eMz: o di ba?! laking sarap ng chicharon!!
