Being skinny is still such a concern for many young teenage girls. Sadly enough the media has a lot of influence on that certain skinny look. When famous celebs are looked at so in detail through the media, about their weight and what not, girls seem to look up to that and think that’s what they need to look like. The Victoria secret fashion show was on last week, I over heard my friend talking about it saying she felt ” So fat after watching it” .. but why? She had also said she didn’t want to eat for a few days because she thought she was getting fat. Fat meaning like hmm 130 pounds. I even seem to worry about my weight on a daily bases and im not over weight I just always want to be skinnier.
I need to stop focusing my attention on my weight, when there are plenty of other things going on in my life and the world around me to worry about such a silly thing. I personally think seeing the typical ” skinny girl” in magazines influences me and others around me a lot. Always seeing photo shopped pictures of girls wondering why I don’t look like that. I wonder why they don’t put an over weight person on the cover of Cosmo? Or any popular magazine for that matter. I think there needs to be attention in the media focused on something more then just the appearance of one.
