I think the size zero looks unhealthy.
A positive body image is something that woman will never have,as we are never satisfied with what we look like and live in a society that thinks the androgyny's look is better and we then strive to copy not thinking that people are physically are not the same.
I have what is called a womanly shape but it was not until my latter years that I started to appreciate it and stop wanting to fit into to the norm.Marlyn Monroe had a fantastic figure but into days society she would be classed as rounded.
Now I really do love my shape and can honestly say my body image is positive,and men defiantly find curves more sexy!
though there are things I would like to be firmer,slimmer,longer but hey in general no complaints.

No way! They are giving out the message that we should not be our natural selves and aspire to be skinny. Size 0 I think is NOT a natural body shape. Look at the work it takes to get there - and the illnesses people get when that thin.
A positive body image is being happy and ACCEPTING what you are and the body you have. For example I have tried dieting in the past and lost a bit of excess weight. I now eat healthily, and exercise and I'm a size 12 (uk). I accept that this is my body size and don't feel negative in any way about my shape.
I read once that you think of a picture of Victoria Beckham and a picture of Dawn French - one of them walks around looking moody and the other is all smiles - guess which that is!! Being thin isn't everything.

I dont think size zero is a positive body image. Looking at models on the catwalk, they are painfully thin with absolutely minimal muscle.
I wonder what health problems they are landing themselves with in later life.
Everybody is intrigued by the hard to attain. Big muscled men have the womens interest but must spend all day working out and eat nothing but chicken and boiled fish.What sort of life is that.
Likewise wirth women. I dont think size zero are the life and soul of anybody's party ,they haven't got the energy.
The dove adverts proclaiming everybody beautiful are a good idea.

Size o models are not promoting a positive body image! there are girls who are not naturally thin like that but most of us have boobs and bums and tums and thighs that meet in the middle. Its the impossibility of average women ever being able to fit this image, which is negative. Having a positive body image is accepting what you look like, however that is and being happy with it!

No way! they're giving out the message that we ought to consistently no longer be our organic selves and aspire to be skinny. length 0 i think of isn't a organic physique shape. inspect the artwork it takes to get there - and the ailments human beings get whilst that skinny. a great physique image is being happy and ACCEPTING what you're and the physique you have. working example I even have tried weight-reduction plan interior the previous and lost somewhat extra weight. I now consume healthily, and workout and that i'm a length 12 (uk). I settle for that it extremely is my physique length and don't experience unfavorable in any way approximately my shape. I examine as quickly as which you think of of a image of Victoria Beckham and a image of daybreak French - considered one of them walks around looking moody and the different is all smiles - wager which it extremely is!! Being skinny isn't each and every thing.

No, there's lots of ways to be sexy. But ask yourself does a fit guy on the cover of a magazine repulse you, then why should a fit woman repulse a guy. Not size zero, thats just ridiculous, but fit is within almost everyone's reach.
