MY DEAR SISTERS ~ DO YOU REALLY CARE? posted in my FB notes on 13Aug09

I have always been concern over my weight, not because of vanity but because of health. I am always worried of being a burden to others because ultimately one of the things that make u sick is being overweight. I know if Allah wills it u will fall sick but prevention is better that cure right? And one of the ways is to watch what u eat. At least in my case, I will be easily out of breath and catch cold and cough easily when my weight ballooned or when i don't exercise. I don't deny the fact that its difficult to loose weight when u are older but do u really need to carry those extra kilos.

Just recently, after meeting my dear friends; one of our favourite subjects is of course about loosing the extra kilos. And I realized that most of my dear sisters love to eat...i like it to but recently i began to detest it for the fact that it had caused many unhappiness on me whenever i over eat. i became sluggish, lazy, sleepy and even sickly. But why do we keep doing it i.e. OVER EAT??? DON'T YOU CARE?

i watched with concerned over the few sisters i met recently...they are still young in their late 20s and early 30s with children as young as 2-3 years old. I wonder...DO THEY REALLY CARE? not only of themselves but also their children. I am sure they do but really my dear sisters DO U REALLY CARE?

if any of u noticed, i could barely eat the foods that were served on that day. Not because they were not palatable but because I was worried sick of the consequences that will affect some of us who ate that day. The foods were too rich, too sweet and too fattening. Alhamdullilah some of u brought fruits and some healthy stuff which i did eat.

Back to my question again. my dear sisters DO U REALLY CARE? Imagine if u continue eating the way you did that day (i know its not everyday u eat that way, i am exagerating a bit) but even if u really do it once in a blue moon...DO YOU REALLY CARE? What u put in your body? What it does to the sugar level in your body? In your blood?

Rasullulah s.a.w. encouraged us to be “moderate" in whatever we do. Are we doing that in the food that we take? Have u ever thought that some of the food that u take eventhough it is halal may be haram if it is harmful for your body. well maybe i am out of track again. let me get to my question again.

DO YOU REALLY CARE? If u don't watch your weight or health in this case, your children will need to look after you when they start their secondary school life. Imagine what u will be putting your children tru if u are sick when it’s actually time for them to learn and grow. I was looking at your children concerned of what will be ...should u not take care of your health from now.

DO YOU REALLY CARE? i am too sad to continue now...but sisters i will love to hear your comments and prove that i am wrong and ALL OF YOU DO REALLY CARE...INSHA'ALLAH.
