Hey guys, it's been a while since I did a thought blog post. I thought about doing this on tumblr, but I can't since of stupid daily post limits. Anyway...there is an issue I've been wanting to talk about for a while, especially since I love Xiumin and if you read a lot of my stories, you guys know that I love Xiumin. 

But I heard on Sukira that his weight would shock a lot of fans. I was wondering how much he has weighed for a while now, since his weight seems to be a big issue in the EXO fandom right now. Apparenetly he weighs around 60 kg which is about 133 lbs. Now, I know that seems like that's not a lot, but according to the NIH here in America. His BMI is not underweight and that's the only thing that matters, weight wise. So guys still know that he's at a healthy weight.

The only problem I have is the way he lost his weight. It worries me cause he says he's doing rigorous excercises (Like the Growl dance) and not eating. Which is not good. I have many friends who are anorexic and it's just not a healthy life style. I'm not calling Xiumin an anorexic, but it just concerns me when I see people not eating. I don't find it attractive when a guy or a girl refuses to eat because they want to lose weight.

Don't get me wrong. I'm trying to change my life style so I can lose some weight and eat healthier. There is nothing wrong with people who want to lose weight. I understand the struggles that come with having a little bit of extra fat. You know I wish EVERYONE was like they are on Tumblr, accepting of everyone's image, but that's not the world we live in. Especially in Korea where body image is totally different there. Okay I've had people tell me I'm average size for my age (even though I'm really not) but if I were to move to Korea...my weight would be an issue there. As Simon & Martina have said in their "Are You a Fat and Ugly Foreigner TL;DR", it may not seem like a little weight to you, but to a Korean it seems like a lot of weight.

You know, weight has never been a precedenting issue in my life till now. Getting older cause there may be clothes you want to wear that just don't...fit, and trust me you all know it when you have to go up a size say in a shirt or pants. 

Xiumin sees that he hasn't been the skinnest person his whole life and wants to change that. To that, I say go ahead, cause if you are not happy with the way you look, forcing yourself to try to see yourself that way isn't going to work. Trust me...I've tried. 

BUT! The main issue isn't his weight. It's whether he is healthy or not. I think that's what the fans should be worried about cause I see fans on Tumblr/Allkpop/Naver being like he needs to lose/gain weight. Weight doesn't matter cause I've seen girls who way just about the same as me and be a smaller size (which makes you feel REALLY bad), but whether if he's healthy and he adapts a healthy life style that HE wants. 

I will always love Xiumin and it may seem hypocritical to say this after my whole rant, but people you are beautiful the way you are. BUT don't force yourself to be happy if you aren't actually happy. 

That's all I have to say. Please don't bash me; this is just my opinion on the whole thing. Just know that Xiumin is STILL at a healthy weight, but I would like to press the issue of him being healthy not his weight.
