"45% of underweight women think they are too fat." - The Beauty Myth
"there is very little evidence to support the claim that fatness causes poor health among women... The results of recent studies have suggest that women may in fact live longer an be generally heathier if they refrain from dieting." -Radiance
"women feel guilty about female fat, becase we implicity recognise that under the myth, women's bodies are not out own but society's and that thinnes is not a private aesthetic, but hunger a social concession extacted by tecommunity. A cultural fixaton on female thinness is not an obsession about the female body, but female obedience." - The Beauty Myth
But, the decision is yours to loose the weight, and I do wish you happyness. |
