That is a little naive and one sided. Our world is obsessed with weight and body image.

We are a country of extremes. People are either anorexic-looking or obese. We either get the salad or the supersized meal. We don't really have a choice in this obsession because it is all around us all the time. Sad, but true.
Which is why I want to move to Antarctica! :-)

i am 1 that cares alot about what ppl think and if someone is talking to someone else and they look over at me i think they are talking about how fat i am. im 10 and i weigh101. i think the reason is because ppl think that the only way to be popular is to be cute and totally sexy. but in order to do that they need to be able to weigh an under the regular weight or they think they aren't sexy. p.s i play softball and im running all the time and i weigh 101 and my friends say im not fat but i know i am. im trying to stop caring but ill be honest and say that i have got a long way to go.

They dont, they just pretend that they do. In actuality, America is the fattest nation on earth. Their obsession is with donuts and french fries. Oink.

Everyone, especially females, want to be Hollywood. For males it shows power. For females it shows sexual appeal and high value, but for the older males and females it has to do with their view of self image and how they view themselves in comparison to their actual quality of life.

Its all in the media and with whats hot and whats not. And with that being said, it plays a big part in how you are percieved and could play a role in the jobs you may or may not get and things that important. It ties in to all you do.

We have a double standard too, it's acceptable for men to be over weight but not women...
