Bodies Are Becoming Our Personal

If You Continually Diet, You Are Putting Your Body In A Quasi-famine Situation. It Slows Your Metabolism Down And Breaks The Thermostat. Diets Don't Work. They Don't Help You Understand Why You're Eating More Than Your Body Wanted In The First Place.

Our Idea Of A Healthy Body Is So Destabilised That Insecure People Have Come To Bolster Their Own Bodies By Deeming Others - Those With Fat Bodies - Less Worthy, Less Capable And Less Employable.

We Know That Ever Woman Wants To Be Thin. Our Images Of Womanhood Are Almost Synonymous With Thinness.

Not That It Was Twiggy's Fault, But The Ubiquity Of Her Image Created A Sense In Young Women That To Be Stylish Meant To Be Skinny, Flat-chested With An Ingenue Face And Straight Hair.

I'd Like To See Much More Understanding Of Emotional Issues Around Hurt, Abandonment, Disappointment, Longing, Failure And Shame, Where They Stem From And How They Drive People And Policies Brought Into Public Discourse.
