Quote - As long as society equates “thin” with sexy, successful and that the “thin” are the only ones worthy of life, then the number of eating disorders with continue to grow at an alarming rate. We live in a society that if one does not fit into the glamorous fantasy world of Hollywood they are shunned. It is as if they had a hump on their back and lived in a bell tower or should be burned at the stake. More and more people are being treated terribly because they don’t look a certain way. Women are bombarded daily with images and content on how they are “suppose” to look. It seems that every time a woman picks up a “Glam” magazine her self worth drops 50 points or more. She is reminded by a shallow society that because she doesn’t look like a “star” or what society deems as beautiful she should hide herself away or need not live.

See that is the problem - how and who do you equate as "society"?  I weigh a good 75 lbs more now than I did 13 years ago when my husband and I married.  Yet though my shape is along the lines of the upper row, which some would consider fat or overweight due to not being "thin" or "skinny"  I am hit on and approached more often now, in fact almost every time I go out I am approached. Even the friend's of my boys (teens and late teen) apparantly consider me attractive (much to my son's amusement) and you'd think they'd prefer "skinny" or "thin" as one would presume they were more influenced by Hollywood.

My point?  I can only gauge things from my own perspective and my view is that "society" is not made up of Hollywood wannabes, actresses, directors and entourage but rather of  the average individual on the street.  Frequently I have heard men say that they prefer women with curves and consider them "real women" instead of "little girls"  the same for the majority of women. 

This makes the "glamour" mags and actresses appeareances irrelevant to the real woman as it isn't really a true gauge of society's concept of attractiveness but rather a concept behind looking good on screen which isn't the same.
