Women everywhere are afraid of one thing during the festive season, not a hangover, but a NYE procession or a discourse on Christmas weight gain, not the January Bruce. At first it was a “little black dress diet” so it looked “best” at a Christmas party. And now you need to deal with friends who are chatting about how much weight they have gained during the festival. It’s no wonder we’re all familiar, and as soon as Christmas is nearing the end, we’re expected to have a conversation about weight loss and “getting in shape.” But as a plus-sized female-I’m afraid that weight loss after Christmas will push more than anything else.
I was probably 11 years old when I first noticed the discourse about weight gain at Christmas. As the festive season approached the end, I was happy – I just enjoyed two weeks of sweets, sweets, and luxury – but then, starting from that, I couldn’t drown it out. The TV wasn’t loud, but the diet ads were louder than I had noticed before. Weight loss tea, fitness DVDs, luxury diet club membership, and a narration that tells me I need to lose weight over Christmas.
Chatting about diet and weight loss wasn’t just about strangers yelling at me on my TV. It was clear in real life. A bus ad that urged you to reduce the size of your second outfit during the New Year, a magazine cover that appealed to dietary restrictions during the festival, and Christmas and New Year are “fresh slate” and “permanently weigh. It was time to reduce.
At such a young and impressive age, I couldn’t understand everything that was happening around me. The complete and complete longing to lose weight after such a fun opportunity was confusing, but as an already chubby kid, I had no choice but to do it all.
My aunt gave me a Christmas present late, so when I heard my mother say, “I have some weight-loss tea,” I was about 13 years old. Inside the gift bag was a box of tea she bought from the health store. It is guaranteed to “help you throw away the size of the dress”. At that time, I knew I was bigger than my companion, so I was a little thick at my age, so I asked my aunt if I could bring it too. She didn’t say no, in fact she encouraged it – it hurt and terrible things to do for such young people.
