I wrote a post before about Body Image and how society and the media has changed what we view as the "ideal" woman's body. I read a good article today on Madame Deals site. It was written by a nurse who herself suffered from an eating disorder of sorts as a child. She talks of little girls age 8 even who are already having troubles with eating and saying they are fat! This means my daughters could be doing this already as my oldest just turned 7. I cannot even imagine going through this with my daughters. I hope that I am able to instill in them that they are perfect the way they are because that is the way that God made them and God does not make mistakes.
I borrowed this picture from the article as I really liked it and thought it went very well with the topic. I hope everyone can help us start to make society rethink what the media is teaching our little girls.
ys..what pressure society gives our girls...my college daughters tell me horror stories about the may eating disorders they witness ...really a shame!!
