Are Hong Konger too concerned about how much they weigh?

        In Asian society, appearance can affect you in multiple aspects. It can help you to make more friends, get a better chance on obtaining a job offer ,etc. The media in Hong Kong greatly promote the importance of plastic surgeries like liposuction. All these suggest that Hong Konger put a great concern on how much they look and they weigh. I do agree that Hong Konger are too concerned about how much they weigh and I will explain the reasons below.

        Some may argue that the inner beauty like personality decide how people look at you and their desire to make friends with you. It is right that personality cannot be determined by appearance. However, appearance often gives a first impression of you to others. If you are fat and heavy, people will tend to think you are lazy and do not take care of your body wellness. Thus, they will find you not charming in the first impression and reduce their interest in making friends with you. Appearances like weight surely do have effect on how people perceive you and thus Hong Konger are concern about their weight on the social level.

        Many people argue that Hong Kongers are not concerned about their weight because majority of people are not having regular exercises to keep themselves fit.

Although Hong Konger may not have the time for exercise to keep fit, they control their weight by many methods. For example, they are willing to pay to slimming center to perform liposuction or go on extreme dieting to limit the intake of calories.

Different ways developed to control the weights of Hong Kongers prove that they are concerned about their weight.

        From the opposing point of view, Hong Kongers are not concerned by their weight because obtaining a heavy weight means that they have enough energy and reserve for body development. In contrast, many Hong Kongers now believe that maintaining a light weight can make their body healthier because researches have been conducted to prove that some diseases are particular common in people in certain weight range. Hong Kongers are now aware that their weight can affect their chances to get a disease. Weight awareness is surely increased and significant among Hong Kongers.
