Girls Who Hate Their Own Build

[LW75]

People often blame Barbie dolls and fashion magazines for the fact that young girls want to be thin. People often say that these images of girls/women are what cause the dissatisfaction with girls'/women's own bodies.

I have a theory:

I believe that there is a chance many heterosexual girls/women will never find what they see in the mirror at all attractive because they are, in fact, attracted to the male build (which, when ideal, is straight and flat). Girls and women who happen to be straight and flat may be happier, but any girl/woman who has any curves will find her own body repulsive (again, simply because she is heterosexual and finds the male build attractive).

Girls/women who based their self-esteem on how they are seen by men may like their feminine curves better, but girls/women who are more interested in liking what they see in the mirror for themselves (rather than for men) would have more of a problem.

The irony is that it is generally seen as healthier when women want to look their nicest just for themselves.

This would greatly benefit the girls who hate their own body build. They should try practising yoga and pranayam. By 6 months they would surely get an positive response.

Of course they loose self esteem, but some girls have a metabolism that does not allow them to loose weight / or gain and they will end up complexed because of the way they look. They should just be happy they are healty.

I think you are right. But remember that very few people will take responsibilty for how they look. If they are fat they say that it is the models fault because they put all that pressure on us to look like that. Instead of taking responsibility and saying I eat too much.

People used to joke about how overweight people would say they had a "gland problem". Well, it turns out many do. Whether they live under stress, frustration, and/or pressure; or whether they're miserable from having the weight, stress causes the adrenal gland (and other glands/systems) to make a person require carbohydrates.
