These days women
are getting thinner and thinner, trying to lose weight verging on psychotic. The
thinner, the more beautiful they are. I am also one of those who try to be “beautiful”
by losing weight. The difference is that I don’t want to be thin at the expense
of my health. I won’t be fat, while I won’t be sick instead of my outer beauty.
“Thinner is beautiful” is western culture, and the media is the one which
spreads the culture. We often see really skinny female actors and fashion
models on TV, and think them beautiful. Yes, actually they look beautiful, but
they might not be beautiful considering their health condition.
Reading the
article, I was surprised even the models who kept really skinny shape feels
that they should be healthier rather than they try to be “ultra-thin”. There is
no way if you die after continuing hard dieting. We don’t need to be like super
models or sexy movie actors, no matter how they look beautiful. Maybe they are naturally
skinny or genetically to be skinny, and if so we cannot be like them forever. So
it is better to quit dieting and start healthier life.
The clue is how we
can change the way we look at the “beautiful” women. We might need to look them
differently from the way the media editors want us to do. As the statistic
says, more than 50% of women in the United States are not confident with their
weight and/or their looks. If they are really fat, they should try to lose
weight, not for being beautiful, but for be healthy. On the other hand, if they
are too skinny like the super models on the TV shows, you think twice and find the
better way to be beautiful women.
