It is funny to me because
when I look back to my younger years (my teens and twenties) I was really
skinny but during this time in my life, I really did think I was fat! Why,
because my self-image was distorted and I blame society for this. The view of
healthy weight is so skewed because it is based on models with eating
disorders, unhealthy weight goals and images that have been “skinnyified”
through a photoshop downsizing process that really falsifies the add, it is crazy.
It is difficult to myth bust
our thinking because it is inbred from such a young age; it is reinforced
minute by minute through advertising campaigns.
The good news, if you read
the article I linked to, it offers some changes like Dove’s initiative to use
real-size women in their marketing campaign. We need this to sweep the nation
in order to change the mindset of marketers and gain a healthy image so
generations to come are not fighting eating disorders reinforced by
inappropriate society guidelines.
What are your thoughts in
this area? Does it bother you or are you able to navigate through it without
thought or trouble?
