Magazines makes us hate ourselves!

It's true. When we look at all the mags full of thin women with large breasts, small waists, and long legs with firm skin, we feel worse about ourselves and our bodies.

We are actually less satisfied with ourselves after looking at mags because the women in there are "perfect," and we don't look exactly like them. We feel fat, ugly, out of shape, and unfashionable.
Who would look at a woman like me, each of us wonders, when there are so many beautiful women like the ones in the mags? Their make up is "perfect," their clothes are "perfect," their skin looks "perfect."

And do you know why?
Because NONE of those images in the mags are real. ALL of them have been digitally changed/improved to airbrush out kin imperfections, wrinkles, and textures and shave a little bit off thighs, arms and waists, all in the name of creating an IMAGE, a false representation, of a "perfect woman."
