- Are we obsessed with it?
Society is far too obsessed with body image. You just have to look at the models the use in the media. Thin is beautiful in their eyes. What gets me is that young girls are now believing that in order to be accepted you have to be a size 8. I know somebody who told their 9 year old daughter to suck in her tummy as it doesnt look good. This is ridiculous.....she is 9 for gods sake.
- Does the media make us that way?
Yes..... see above
- Do we judge others on how they look?
I hope I dont, I went through years of starving myself to be thin. Now I know that most men prefer a little meat on their ladies.
- Are we more concerned about the cosmetic side of being overweight or underweight than the health issues?
It gets me that people think,... oh well.. I've tried to diet, i'll have it sucked out by cosmetic surgery..... Jesus Christ..... what sort of a world do we live in when people dont know this could have serious implications on your health.
- Would we rather be underweight than overweight?
Tricky one, I am at a weight now where i feel happy...... not skinny but not overweight. I lost 3 and a half stone since having my daughter 2 and a half years ago. I'm about the size I was just before i fell pregnant with her. Before that... i had just been promoted in a highly stressful job. The stress I was under lead to me not eating. I lost far too much weight and I didnt feel good.
- Do women think men want them to be skinny?
Some men yes..... but most dont like to go to bed with a woman who looks like a coat hanger. A nice round bottom does wonders
- What do men really think about women's weight?
Ask Red moon
- Do you think the £Billion diet industry is a con?
Yes..... fad diets are rubbish..... sensible eating is the key
- Should we be satisfied with how we look instead of striving for an impossible goal?
We should.... but unfortunately the majority of women are not happy with they way they look.
