zero size...just as bad as obesity


In contrast to my last post about junk food, another bad behaviour is being to skinny…size zero.
Everyone says that being obese is un-healthy, what about being to skinny? That causes health problems as well…bad ones.
Figures show an 80% rise in the number of young girls admitted to hospital with anorexia in England over the last decade.http://news.bbc.uk/1/hi/health/8510160.stm
This is not a good statistic, if models are allowed to become size zeros and it’s made out that unless you’re skinny you can’t be a model or look good, it doesn’t project a very good image. Society has become so over run with the idea that you have to be slim, it causes women everywhere to hate the way they look…this is not true….no matter how big or small you are…everyone is beautiful and should be respected the way they are.
“If you look back to the 1940s and 50s the average dress size was a 12-14.
Now, in 2010, the ideal shapes of our screen icons have changed in a very worrying way towards size 8 and 00s of Victoria Beckham, Kate Moss, Paris Hilton, Madonna and Cheryl Cole.
However, living happily in our own body can be a challenge. For many women it is a constant source of dissatisfaction and distress.” BBC NEWS.
Celebrities may be fuelling the fact that young women are going to extremes to be thin…why can’t we have normal sized models…wouldn’t that be a better role model for kids? Nowadays if you are a size 10-14 model…you are plus size….WHAT THE HELL??

This is extreme bad behaviour…making women feel bad for being a normal size, there should be some kind of law…the fashion industry has gone mad!
