What is a DUFF, you might wonder? Well, I haven't had an idea until I watched a replay of Average Joe on ETC almost a week ago. Read on and find out. The searcher of the show, beautiful and sexy Melana, had to cut two guys out of the remaining four "joe's" left and so the producers came up with this plan to see the guys for their true colors.
Melana was made to wear prosthetics for her face and body so that she would look twice as big. Then, they passed her off as Melana's "cousin," Danielle, who was going to interview the guys. Afterwards, the guys were ushered into the poolhouse, not knowing that the place was filled with cameras to record their reactions.
The next morning, Melana plays the tape recording the guys' responses. Not surprisingly, it shows Zach, the house jerk, talking about how Danielle is a Duff. The other 3 guys didn't know what a Duff is, so Zach goes on to explain that a DUFF is a Designated, Ugly, Fat Friend and that every group of hot girls has one. He says that for a guy to get in with the girl, he must get in with the Duff of the group.
Here comes the personal effect it had on me. The bit of insecurity that hid deep down my being came rising in huge torrents. I actually felt tears dripping down my cheeks after hearing what a Duff is. See, I belong to a group of good-looking girls, in which I am the only one who is way overweight. And even though I know that my girlfriends do not see me this way, I can't help but feel that guys might have perceived me as the Duff of our group.
Ouch...
This is really petty and stupid, I know. But I really couldn't sleep well that night.
Now I'm really motivated to get rid of these extra pounds. I've lost 10 kilos (22 pounds) so far, but no one's actually noticed the difference. My sister says it's probably because half of it is only the water weight. So, I'll have to strive harder and not lose patience or determination.
After all, I didn't get this fat in just a short time. It took me years to pack in the pounds, and so it will probably take me quite a long time to get rid of them too. Go me!
