Have you ever felt shitty about yourself? Ha of course you have. Why did I even ask. lol The mirror is our obsession and our bathroom scales is the new crack. All over the country you will find women weighting themselves weekly daily hourly. Starving themselves, working out until the vomit or pass out. They undergo harmful chemical treatments and surgery. Willing to face the risks of infection, cancer, and death. They spend thousands of dollars on diet pills, makeup, clothing, etc... By grade one 42% of girls already think they need to be slimmer. 35% have been on at least one diet by the age of 12. WHAT THE FUDGE!!!???
Woman’s magazines have over 10.5 times more ads then men’s. 75% of the magazines covers have at least 1 ad on how to make you more attractive.
76% or women on TV are under weight. Put that in your pipe and smoke it! Think about it these women you see on TV look so good to you but imagine without their clothes on. LADYS!! RIBS ARNT SEXY!!.... Unless there in a plate and covered in bbq sauce. Now toughs are some sexy ribs. :P
the media is our drug lord they say “if you could just drop 20 pounds you could have everything. A hot boyfriend, money, success, and everyone will love you.
But when did modifying your body make you a less shitty person.? Since the media owned your soul that’s when! MUHAHAHA
Every day you see 5000 ads and 1-3 of them are about your appearance. Say you are about 18 years old that is 13 million advertisements telling you aren’t good enough. HOLY SHIT!! No wonder why 8 million of us have eating disorders and almost all of us have poor self-esteem. WHO WOULDN’T? It all goes back to the fact that these ads are NOT real they are just plaid like they are.
Now how many people can open up a magazine and say “OHH THAT TOTALLY LOOKS JUST LIKE ME.” Pifft none of us. And it doesn’t look like the nether there is so much airbrushing and Photoshop involved. You probably wouldn’t even notice them. Another reason is that oooober thin body only affects 5% of the world’s population. And the standers are getting tighter. 20 years ago models were 5% underweight in 2011 models were 23% underweight. Here is something you can do and what I have done. J Every time I find myself feeling this self conscious I put myself in check. This has affected me my entire life. But it is a very long proses trying to undo the damage that has been done. I have slowly been eliminating all the things that have been hurting my self-esteem and raping my wallet. I shave my legs less, I don’t shop as much, I have only one product to wash my face, and I have slowly reduced the amount of makeup I wear. And I eventually will be able to go out without any at all. But it’s a work in progress and I have to be conscious about it every day. But not only about myself but about others as well. The more the fog clears the more you will truly love and appreciate human bodies.
