mums don't lie

how do you judge accurately that you are fat?

below are some incidents/signs which made me realise that im not slim afterall..

1) Bathing
my friend, its not that this is pervetic or self obsessed. but when you are bathing, i'm sure that all of us will look down and scan the length of our legs. and recently, when i look down to stare at my legs, i found to my horror, that my thighs are like tree trunks. They look ultra stable, in fact, too big and stable for my frame. sigh.

2) Bursting jeans
i got an old pair of jeans, and when i tried pulling it up to try to relive my old times, i found that my jeans actually got stuck at my thighs.

3) The Ultimate: My Mother
Everyone knows that mums don't lie to their children. And whatever they say to their child, they will make sure that they say it in the most tactful words to convery their ideas.
Now, my mum has relayed her thoughts very straightforwardly. Yesterday, while she was trying to wake me up from my 'coma', she placed both her hands on my thighs and said:" Look at you, your thighs are (bloody) fat, totally not proportionate." Ok, my mum wasnt that crude, but the word 'bloody' was more or less implied.

Now, i realise how fat my thighs are. And i felt sorry for having outrightly pointed out to rachel kok that she has cellulite in her thighs. Trust me to do that and now karma has befell=P
