I’m targeting this to Asian girls because there are a lot of people on soompi that are asian girls. I feel like I'm going to be warn for this or even block, but I HAVE TO SPEAK MY MIND!!!

Oh my gosh, this is starting to be really stupid. Asian in America want to be skinny like these Asian in Asia...I'm sorry, but when I went to Asia and saw the Asian girls there all I wanted to say is like "EAT SOMETHING!!!" Their legs are like stick...no fat...just....bone...and a layer of meat. Maybe it's just me. I like girls will some meat on them. I want health not the walking dead >.>. And seriously Asian parents isn’t helping by calling their kids “fat.” I was born in Vietnam and was raise up here for most of my life. The amount of food you get in one meal in America and the amount of food in Vietnam are TOTALLY different. If I ask for a small bowl of noodle here I have to ask for a big bowl over there to get the same amount of food I get. And it’s even harder here to loss weight when you’re surrounded by fast food every corner you go or the junk food you can get in a supermarket. Sometime you just need to face the fact if you rather sit in front of the computer and ranting about your weight problem and not do anything about it you’re not going to get to your ideal weight. And even with “ideal weight” is that your ideal weight or ideal weight that media said it is for you.

When you're trying to loss weight it shouldn't be for "peer pressure" it should be for YOURSELF. I can't believe you guys are whining. "I'm 5'3'' and weight 110lb T_T, I want to loss more" AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHh sometime when I go to soompi and read topics like "how much you weight" and the girls that post their weight it's like either unrealistic or soompi is full with skinny prefect girls that like to whine how unperfected they are. Then when there are these diet topic come up they go to it like ants that just saw sugar or something. It’s really starting to be a ridiculous to a point if I want to go to soompi health and fitness forum the first thing I want to do is to vomit and vomit some more so I can be fit like these post or vomit after seeing how sick some the post are. I thought health and fitness forum suppose to be a place when people help or motive other to be HEALTH not a place for skinny people to whine or show off about themselves. It’s just going to lead more stress to the people that are not like that. I want to go to soompi to relieve stress not to have more pressure on myself that I’m fat compare to some of the members.

Girls drop it. There is a different from skinny and health. Being skinny doesn’t mean you’re health.

ahhh yes. i totally agree.
i tell wanna tell my parents/siblings
to shut their mouths and stop calling fat unless
they can fit into my size ZEROES.

its not the girls's problems thinking that theyre fat or big for an asian girl

Keep in mind. Soompi is consist of fair amount of idiots or uneducated about certain topic such as sexual health/not well-informed. Most of them are teenagers. Of course it would be natural for anyone to aim for a specific goal and desire. At this age, many people are experiencing self-esteem issues, emotional problems, appearances, and the whole "image" thing. But, it's unnatural to be too obsessed with everything.

haha I agree. I hate when i see girls on here who are 5'6" and 120 lbs and are telling me that they are fat. Um. Ok. Wayyy to make ME feel bad about myself. I don't mind topics about "What Motivates You" or about specific diets n such, and I have to say I have gone into my fair share of "How Much Do You Weigh" topics, but they are ridiculous. There are so many of them now.

not everyone in korea were that stick skinny though, i saw plenty of chubby-normal girls.

i agree with xreminisce about fam members telling girls they're fat, because
when i went to korea as a 5'4 115lbs, EVERYONE called me fat. omg. i wanted to cry... they told me i was fat everyday.
so i came back and lost 15lbs.
family influence is so scary.

it's not true some time, cuz im such a good example of a skinny person. To tell everyone the truth, i'm not a victim of anorexia and i've never had such a thought of dieting or being skinny to be pretty. And it has nothing to do with my gene, my parents are all healthy and in the right shapes. Anyway, my skinniness was just due to the entrance exam to get me into the uni in year 12. I dropped my weight from 42 to 40 and after the 1st year of uni, i kept dropping it down to 38kg, and since then i couldn't gain my weight again, despite how much i tried to eat. That's really harsh for me all the time, cuz that not only affects my health but my self-esteem too, whenever i go out i have a feeling like ppl always look at me in full of disgusts, so ive been desperate for a certain amount of time, even now im still at 38kg, but i dont care about how others look at me anymore, ive been trying to eat and having a right diet balance. Hopefully after my summer break, i will gain 5 more kg, it's my wish.......

LMao yeah.

I went back to Asia..and I guess the portions for food there is just smaller, but I found myself sticking out like a sore thumb. I remember going shopping and my aunt was like, "You would look better in that if you lost 10 lbs." The most depressing thing is, in China, all the dressing mirrors are outside of the frking dressing room so you have to walk out and endure ridiculing stares before realizing you're too "fat" to fit into an "Asian" medium.

Its this thing with our parents. My grandmother, aunt and mother calls me fat. Actually, my grandmother calls my mother fat too. It's not that we actually like want to be this skinny piece of thing but If everyone stopped calling everyone fat and the world was actually a kinder place where bigger people are easier to accept (?) Then dieting wldnt be needed but in truth it is the opposite. Heh.

Even a 5'4 110 lbs isn't thin enough you know - for the elders.
