Everywhere are advertisements for weight loss, or somebody is being critcized for being "overweight."
I see many unhealthy "standards" sent out by the media & society(and clothing stores!) that are basically saying that girls need to super-slim, and guys should have huge, nicely toned muscles. It is really no wonder why so many people are self-conscious about their appearance (weight-wise), and why eating disorders are becoming more common (and yes, of course, there could be other contributing factors.)
Dieting is okay if your weight is seriously going to affect your health. But I think that this weight-loss craze is going too far- it is ridiculous when no matter what you do, you can never fit the mould of perfection, or meet the standards. Theres always "too heavy" or "too skinny."
Everyone is built differently, so why should we feel pressured to look a certain way?
Does anyone else agree with me?
