OOPS!...I mean Happy New Year!!
It seems as though every January, we as
women...and men, are inundated with the idea that we need to create a better
version of ourselves for the new year.
Have you ever felt that way? Last year we must have not been thin enough, fit enough, cleansed or detoxed enough- the list goes on. Do you diet in January to get ready for Spring Break and flat abs? Are you striving for celebrity type results?? What celebrity body would you trade your body for??

On the Thin Ideal
"... almost every woman
today struggles with body image issues. The Body Project is a
cognitive-dissonance based body acceptance program that was designed to help
adolescent girls and college women resist societal pressures to be
unrealistically thin and reduce their pursuit of thinness. When people go to extreme measures to look like a
supermodel, including some very unhealthy weight control behaviors and
excessive exercise, this is the definition of the “thin ideal”. The goal of
the thin-ideal is to attain thinness that is neither realistic nor
healthy."
On the Healthy Ideal
"The healthy ideal is the
way your unique body looks when you are doing the necessary things
to appropriately maximize your physical health, mental health, and overall
quality of life. With the healthy-ideal, the goal is health, fitness,
functionality, and longevity. A healthy body has both muscles and adequate
fat tissue. The healthy ideal involves feeling good about how our body
both feels and works."

REMEMBER: Function of a fashion magazine: To
convince women that something is wrong with them (e.g., hair, body, sex life,
etc.) so that they can sell their product (i.e., the content of the
magazine) to fix it.*
Think about it- the more
anxious they make you, the more likely you will buy the magazine and the larger
their readership becomes, which increases advertising sales.
