I have always had to watch my weight I dont feel pressure from anyone apart from myself to watch the calories, I just feel better carrying less weight… not that Im super slim… Im not.
I do sometimes wonder is it a coincidence that just about the time that women started to get equal rights….voting, more equal pay, etc….that suddenly advertisers the media and fashion is telling us to be “thin”?
I was reading about this recently…I found the following statement interesting..
“The easiest way to sabotage a woman’s intellect is to make her preoccupied about her physical appearance. Imagine if all the women who put energy into dieting and looking “perfect” were to suddenly put that same effort into their education or something like that….imagine….”
Interesting huh?
