Being FAT
frm left: kaiyu , me , jess wong (in CHIJ kellock, around 6 yrs ago...)

i had a dream last night. i wouldnt call it a nightmare but i would say it wasn't pleasant ><
in my dream i was fat. again.
i couldnt see how i looked or how fat i really was. all i remember was being told repeatedly that i was fat...

i am NOT anorexic. or some superficial girl who's obsessed over keeping slim.
rather i feel that my slight paranoia over my weight is due to childhood "trauma".

it's probably not qualified to be considered a trauma.

since it's merely being singled out for around 1 yr (p3) to go for weekly TAF runs and being labelled as overweight (or borderline overweight to be specific)
and being told i am not running hard enough since i look lyk i didnt sweat enough.

Back then, i couldnt rmb making any big effort to get out of that category. And the label of being overweight was taken off one fine day after a height and weight session...as easily as it was slapped on me...

somehow or other, this experience did left a great impact on me.
But it's not as if i am super sensitive if someone says i m fat (since i lyk to eat so much, esp sweets), or a make conscious efforts to exercise (clearly i dont) or count calories (if i did i my classmates wouldnt be benefiting from my constant source of snacks)

...

looking back, i m wondering why the system would want to put pri sch kids that young into such categories and slapping labels on them....

since the sole purpose seemed to be for selecting children to go for the weekly half hr TOUGH run (or was it named TAF run? but i guess tt doesnt matter) and maybe for monitoring their weight (more closely than others).

which would actually benefit every kid. whether overweight or not. according to our health education textbook, 1 hr weekly of exercise from our PE lesson is highly insufficient to qualify for a healthy lifestyle.

so why not make TOUGH run a run for one and all?

why bother segregating the overweights?
