...the fuller figure being ideal? forty years, or however long ago, the fuller curvier figure was thought of as beautiful, and now the thin-as-can-be-anorexic-look is the thing to be. look at Marilyn Monroe she was gorgeous and had "meat" on her bones. i wanna know why society pressures people and women especially to fit the "thin" ideal image, it's just not healthy for a grown woman to look the way most models look. did you know that the average model is 5'7 and weighs less than 117lbs? that's just not right or healthy for anyone. i mean i would like to be fit and slim but if that means compromising my health i'm afraid that it's just not worth it. the world needs role models not inspirations to be skinny. little girls were not born to hate their own bodies and to diet, they were taught that. i think that kids should be taught that the human body is beautiful and should be treated as a temple, for you only get one life on this Earth and only one mortal body so why hurt yourself any further? that goes for everything, eating disorder or not, this lesson can be applied to just life in general.
