The goal for most women is to get into a size 0 even if it costs them their well being. Eating disorders are not just bad for your body but they are bad for your self esteem and the others around you. Once a family member or friend finds out they become concerned and try to help in any way or as many ways possible. Sometimes to the point it brings a great deal of stress upon them.
Not all woman who are annorexic or bullemic are in it for the thinspiration trend.No,there are women and even in rare cases men who suffer from it due to psycological issues. Even a verbaly abusive partner could be a cause. Even a brief comment about some ones weight or even girls telling eachother their weight can be a root cause of an eating disorder. Its a very serious matter that should be taken with compassion,not critizism. Ive heard people make snide comments about an annorexic or bullemic. Unfortunatly I blame thinspiration for the critizism because sadly there are those who are psycologicaly influenced and cannot escape it. Those are the ones who need compassion and support while over comming this illness.
All of us women do have the power and control to fight this "thinspiration" from ourselves,our friends,sisters,daughters,and other females you may have in your life along with future generations. What needs to be pointed out is that beauty is not a number its a natural right as a woman to be beautiful. There is nothing wrong with fun fashion and make up,no its all in expressing you and how you feel. Big girls are and can be beautful. By wearing the right jeans,tops they will look in that mirror and think "look at me!". Average size girls same thing and even just finding your own style will give you an impowering "look at me!" kind of feeling. Personally I love a pair of loose fitting jeans or cords and a simple but cute top or plain t-shirt and if its cool a sweatshirt. I feel adorable in my modest comfortable attire. Another thing since I said the word modest,my mother had brought up that some one she knew was saying how hard it is to find modest clothing for girls. Personally I agree but I do know there is modest clothes out there! Dressing modest doent make you a nerd or prude. It just shows off your impowered confidence to walk out covered "no not like a nun!",covered in the appropriate way such as little cleavage or none and no booty shorts! It shows your self respect and self worth. Being beautiful or even sexy does not have to cost you your life,health and food life. It doesnt mean you need to buy the most expencive designer jeans or wear flashy clothing. No it is all about YOU. Beauty is a natural right not a number.
