It's crazy how the Asian countries are becoming much like America in the consumerism aspect. They are just as vain as American women I assume. Maybe they fear they'll become fat like us too if their not careful.

It's difficult when everybody around you is doing something and you feel your not up to par. Personally I'd take the role as the careless chubby American girl who has wild hair and blue jeans. You don't have to keep up with them...they are much different. Maybe they envy your freedom from obsessed vanity and you're not even aware of it.
