"It is now estimated that three-fourths of seven-year-olds now want to be thinner."
I'm just going to rant a little. It is not society that wanted this. It is not anybody who wanted this. However, anyone who ever felt like the had to lose weight for non health related issues contirbuted to this. Yes, I find myself guilty of that. But we all need to stop. Right now. The media, what we say, what we do, all of us just really need to sit down and think. Because if this attitude towards weight continues, so many people are going to have eating disorders, including young children. It's disgusting. So please,I beg of you, make a poledge with me, okay? Promise yourself that you are going to do your best to have a little more confidence in yourself. You don't need to be oozing self-esteem or be a an airhead. Just try and find ten good things about yourself every time you look in the mirror, and if youcan't do that, ask someone to point them out to you.
Weight and beauty have different definitions. It's time we realized that.
