Women and Weight
This is an issue that I realized was a big deal when I went to Stacy Nadeau event. Our society has created this image that a girl is only wanted if she is skinny. Due to this most girls tend to either stop eating or find ways to lose weight. Many want to deny it, but every girl has to go through this phase and keep thinking that the only way they are wanted if they are skinny. I think it is important to be fit, but to stop eating is never a solution. A women should be able to eat, wear, do etc. in what she is comfortable with. We tend to think about what a guy would think rather than what's healthy for us. There is no definition of the word beautiful if we can't do what we are comfortable in. I think we as a society can help with this issue by not talking over someone' weight. As girl we talk about how we need to lose weight, but we also go to someone who is skinny and say "have you not been eating?", this needs to stop both ways. If they are skinny doesn't mean they don't eat, maybe they have metabolism or a victim of anorexia., we don't know what they are going through. It is something that our society needs to look into more and try to find a solution.

I agree with this. Plus gossiping about peoples weight does no good because the girl probably knows she isn't the medias idea of "skinny" and is probably struggling with that fact. However as real women we shouldn't perpetuate this viscous system. We should try to embrace real beauty no matter what shape and size.
