Self Image
January 22nd, 2008 by Marnie
Women and girls today are so overwhelmed with images of beautiful and skinny women. This of course puts unreal expectations on us and can lead to poor self esteem and eating problems. Along with the girls being influenced, I think the boys are getting an unrealistic image of what girls should be as well.
Twenty years ago, in the eighties, most fashion models were a size 8. Now, most are a size 0. During the same time, the average 5′ 4″ woman went from a size 10 to a size 14. Size 14 now is considered a plus size, but it was the dress size of sex symbol, Marilyn Monroe. I don’t think she was considered fat!
