Overweight girls, what you looks like in your own eyes?

Overweight girls, what you looks like in your own eyes?

Are you satisfied about your body? Or are you sorrow about you over weight? Yeah, most of girls feel unhappy about their body shape. The reason is not only about others’ eyes, but also themselves. To know what you look about yourself, here is the answer.

If you thought that only women on the heavier side felt bad about their bodies after being bombarded with images of stick thin models, well then you better think again, for the affliction is common to all members of the fairer sex.

 

And, it doesn't take a week or a month or even a year for those negative feelings to set in, but only three minutes, a new University of Missouri-Columbia study has found.

 

"Surprisingly, we found that weight was not a factor. Viewing these pictures was just bad for everyone," said Laurie Mintz, associate professor in the MU College of Education.

 

"It had been thought that women who are heavier feel worse than a thinner woman after viewing pictures of the thin ideal in the mass media. The study results do not support that theory."

 

As a part of the study the researchers measured how 81 women felt about themselves, from their body weight to their hair, and then exposed some of them to neutral images, while others viewed models in magazine ads for one to three minutes.

 

The women were asked to uate themselves after seeing the images, and in all cases, the women who viewed the models reported a drop in their level of satisfaction with their own bodies.

 

The study suggests that the majority of women would benefit from social interventions aimed at decreasing the effects of the media.

 

The researchers now state that unlike past interventions that have targeted specific groups of women, such as those with pre-existing eating and body-image concerns, this study suggests that reducing the acceptance of mass media model images and trying to stop the social comparison process is important for helping all women.

 

"Most women do not go to a counselor for advice; they look to Seventeen or Glamor magazine instead. These unrealistic images of women, who are often airbrushed or partially computer generated, have a detrimental impact on women and how they feel about themselves," Mintz said.
