The Ideal Body

The image raps up everything that we are talking about in one. It shows what women think is beautiful, what men see as beautiful, and what actually is beautiful. Although this may not apply to all, there is something about this photo that really captures the thought process behind losing weight. The women's ideal body is super thin, and for many women unattainable. I wonder what makes women think that this is the only type of beauty? Striving to be that skinny is unrealistic, and we should embrace a healthy body. The National Average photo is beautiful, and she is a healthy, strong, confident woman. The Men's Ideal size although bigger than the Women's ideal size is still below average. Lindsey talked about BMI and how most of the women that are publicized and seen as role models today are actually underweight. As a society lets embrace our bodies, whatever shape they may be!
