[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wish there was a wider range of body types represented in commercials and magazines when I was growing up. Instead I wasted years of my youth pinching my tummy and thinking I was obese because my hip bones weren't sticking out like the models in YM and 17. I'm guessing OP grew up in the 80s, 90s or early 2000s when really thin models were glamorized. Its hard to shake your brain free of "good = skinny" and "bad = fat" but I hope that future generations of young women won't waste as much time thinking they are "less than" because of their weight and body shape. OP, it will probably always be jarring for our generation but ultimately, its a good thing. [/quote] I agree 100%. I was born in 1972 so my adolescent years were in the 1980's. I feel like seeing all of the very skinny models/actresses in addition to growing up in a weight conscious household negatively brainwashed me. It's hard to shake that kind of cultural programming.
