Want to know why anorexia is so common these days?
Look at the media and listen to how much garbage is being shoved down the throats of teens and people in general. The most idiotic superficial of shows are the most popular, shows like America's Next Top Model. The media and pop culture today is emphasizing the ideal of perfection, that everyone must be the ideal and if you're not, then you're an outcast.
Every single one of the girls in my class says they're fat and they need to lose weight. They're already so skinny, with a perfect figure. Why the heck do you want to lose weight? Oh, but they insist they're fat, they need to lose weight. My gosh, look in the mirror! I am perfectly happy with accepting my body weight. I weigh about 115 to 120 pounds. I'm tall so the fat doesn't show very much, but I haven't been doing much exercise so I've got some flub on me. But I'm ok with it. Sure, I'd like to turn that extra fat into muscle and have a perfect hourglass figure, but I'm not going to obssess over it like the majority of girls today. I love my body, even with the flub. I'm happy not being perfect and never reaching the ideal.
And that's just one of the many things wrong with society today. We're so obssesed with ourselves, with our image, with our bodies, with our own lives. We're so completely immersed in ourselves. We have become selfish egocentric maniacs. Stop obssessing over the extra fat. If you lost any more pounds, you'd be weighing the same as you did when you were born. Seriously.
