This. Most Asian girls I know weigh around 45kg... anything over 55kg in Hong Kong is considered fat.
yes and that means **** all, since in asian countries there's a lot of internalization of western values, i.e. that being thin is everything there's this stereotype that all asian women have to fulfil the stereotype of being petite and not all asian women are naturally tiny.
Yes but the point is 45kg is easily maintainable without having an oppressed diet if you have those genes. The girls I know eat a lot for their size, I have their genes, gaining weight for me was a nightmare. Looking at continual force feeding for that to happen.
Hahahaha okay apologies for the (5 year) necro but I was just looking at what threads 18 year old me made and this was the first one!
It's strange reading back what I used to write because I know I wrote it but it doesn't sound like how I thought I would think/write? I don't know if that's the same for you guys in old threads?
So in reality I basically didn't do any of the things suggested here and I'm still the lankiest person you'll probably ever meet.. but the kicker? I'm about 6,7 now instead of 6'3 haha.
I've seen doctors over the years for various things and whenever they mention my weight it's like a "oh, you're very skinny for your height aren't you.. have you always be skinny?" And as soon as I say yes they seem to think it's fine and just my body type. Apparently BMI is a really bad scale for taller/shorter people anyway!
But yeah.. I'm 23 and essentially the same body as before but I'm not as self conscious or concerned about it as much now. I just kind of embraced the reality of my situation that I don't hate my body enough to motivate me to do all the work required to fix it.
I always tell myself at New Years or next year when I'm less busy I'll focus on weight or whatever but it's never happened! I'm hoping late 20s my metabolism will slow down.. maybe that will help.
Sorry I couldn't be one of those "wow amazing transformation" examples for all you skinny guys who stumble across this thread. Maybe you should be the transformation that inspires me!
