So many tv programmes with supersize/superskinny. BMI bans on models. Anorexia/bulimia admissions increased. These are just the extreme cases... what about the "normal" woman?
For myself, I have lost weight - but I cannot see it. I see myself as the size I was, not what I am now. I look at clothes in shops and assume they will look hideous because I am picturing them on my old body. I put on a couple of pounds so my jeans become snug, and I feel house sized - it doesn't seem to matter that a pair of snug size 10s is different to a pair of snug large 14s!
Then you have my friend who is stunning, but she sees herself as hugely overweight because she used to be a stick. She won't be happy until she is stick sized again, and even when she is stick sized, she still won't be happy because that won't be what she sees in the mirror.
Is everyone like it? Nearly all of the women I know are... I don't know about the men. Maybe it is something that you need less testosterone to feel?
It has nothing to do with celeb magazines, the news, meeja images or anything. I don't look in the mirror and think "ooooooooooh Kate Moss is much thinner than me", I just look and think "I don't like that".
Gok should do some non-televised thing where he makes those of us who don't want to be shown on tv (or who have Boy's who would be mortified at us going on tv!!) feel like he makes those other women feel.
But even then... does the Gok effect last?
