Women tend to consider themselves too fat

There is nothing surprising in the fact that almost all adherents of a restrictive diet women. "For the vast number of women in our society to be a woman means to feel too full, write researchers from Yale University, Judith Rodin, Ph.D., Lisa Silberstein Strigel and Ruth Moore, who studied the causes that compel women to strive to be thin. They literally are working to lose weight, as if it were a second career. "
In girls, it starts somewhere in the age of 9 years. Poll 494 girls and young women aged 9 to 18 years old, made a researcher from the University of California showed that a large number of those surveyed 31 percent to 9 years have already acquired the habit of overeating, another third of the respondents admitted that they are afraid of getting fat. According to the results of another study, at the time of admission to more than half of college girls become unhealthy habits, such as first overeat and then cause vomiting. And apparently, it never ends. When Dr. Rodin and her colleagues conducted a study, interviewing older women, it was found that the weight loss after storage for them is the subject of the greatest concern.

WHEN DID IT START

There was a time not so long ago, when the abundance of flesh was considered sexy. We do not advocate a return to the round and pink nude by Rubens. In the 50s a very thin, very sleek Audrey Hepburn is a beautiful and charming, but a sex symbol Marilyn Monroe was. Except for periods of illness, the body of Marilyn was a lush, soft, sensual, packed in tight-fitting dress open as sausage casing. In our time, Marilyn might be a visual aid for-Those-Who-SleditZa-His-weight.
Today there are millions of women who have grown up on the image 45kilogrammovyh puny creatures like Twiggy, the supermodel 60s, figures who had apparently boys' or girls before puberty, and is very reminiscent of skeletal silhouettes of patients with anorexia nervosa, which some researchers have linked to the reluctance to be women, and mothers. Some researchers suggest that the desire to be thin is the expression of sexual liberation, as the thin body is associated with the athleticism and bisexual (if not explicitly muzhepodobiem) rather than motherhood.
There are other reasons. The completeness is considered unhealthy, it is associated with a number of ailments, including heart disease. Studies have also shown that we, as children, think of fullness as something bad example of the transfer of concepts in the area of ​​morality. In obese people watching with disapproval that overweight gives us almost the same horror as a deadly disease. When conducting a study of children with juvenile diabetes asked would they have changed their life-threatening disease to obesity, and most said no.
Sadly most women, attractive appearance is the currency. On her buy a good attitude, a better man, a better job, a better life. With a few exceptions, most people think fat women ugly.
