What happens to girls
I saw these two pictures in the media on the same day. What are your thoughts on body image? Does one look better than the other? What message do they send to girls in our society?
I guess since I've never been that size and can't get under a 16...I don't know why society puts such prestige on that sort of body image. No, I don't wear skimpy clothes, or bikinis, but I didn't when I was a size 7 either. As long as we are healthy, and active...I say don't worry about the size of your clothes. As for our girls...we need to convey that same message. The sad part is, it's not just girls that get this message. Boys have the same issues. Eat a heathy diet and be active...don't worry about the size of your clothes!
