With my last post i was not trying to make light of the matter because it is not an issue to be taken lightly. But in todays day womens body issues is so mainstreamed in the news that its hard to ignore.

We are faced with these stick thin models ,and yes as of late we are seeing more models who have a real womans body , but that aside men are very visual and they make woman compete against one another in todays society about appearances.

Being thin and in healthy shape is great, but being to thin for appearances and vieing for some guys attention or not even that for what other reason is sad!

Being plus size is not the greatest but at least that can be controlled. A lot of men are attracted to that and some are not , but it isn't a taboo subject any longer. Its like that movie real Woman have curves ......

Believe me i have my own issues. I was once a cheerleader in high school and had a perfect body , but now thats different. It is sad these poor girls dealing with anorexia and bulemia because they want some guys approval or because it really comes down to their own demons their fighting to be prettier than someone else or just to be accepted... I don't know. its very heart wrenching to see these girls in that position but todays society and the media has made it soo hard for women to be just themselves but rather have young women knock themselves out to attain a perfect body image.
