Some of these statistics are scary:
Two out of five women and one out of five men would trade three to five years of their life to achieve their weight goals. I don't think this is right. I mean come on, how can someone watse such a long period of time. I mean is body image really that much of an issue? Especially now a days I think society has changed its views on body image and were more accepting.
In 1970 the average age of a girl who started dieting was 14; by 1990 the average dieting age fell to 8. This just scares me. Is it the media that is doing this?
After viewing images of female fashion models, seven out of ten women felt more depressed and angry than prior to viewing the images. This one is just obvious to most. I think it just shows how so many women aren't comfortable with themselves.
The “ideal” woman - portrayed by models, Miss America, Barbie dolls, and screen actresses - is 5’5, weighs 100 pounds and wears a size 5. Okay, but is this ideal to society or to the modeling industry?
Idk, i just thought these were interesting and someone to be aware of. So many women are affected by these statistics.
