Was out with my girl gang this afternoon. I love how as women we can draw on so much from each other, feel so happy just hanging out with the girls, chatting, discussing everything from serious issues to mundane ones… fight over scrabble scores… and leave feeling like we’ve been in a therapeutic session. One of them is married, the other one engaged and the rest of us single (and some of us lovin’t it). So we can cover the whole gamut of what any woman can go thru, less than loving in-laws, strangely unloving parents, parents pressurising about marriage, not finding the right guy, biological clock ticking, being gloriously single… honestly who needs a sex and the city! Its right here in our lives, we are living it everyday.
But one common thread that’s always there… losing and putting on weight! Somehow, there can never be a conversation without that. If all of us women actually discussed a social issue all the time that we spent talking about weight, i think the world would be a better place. But women wouldn’t be women then.
I know someone who’s first comment is always about whether you have put on weight or lost weight… she’s your personal talking weighing scale and if you meet her often enough, you never have to worry about neglecting your body. She will make sure you always know! But she is rather sweet so i won’t dis her anymore.
