OK
Unusual post for a guy this one but hey....i need to blow off some steam.
I just flicked through a girls magazine that a friend left at my house.
I'm also off work this week so have had the diss-pleasure to be watching daytime TV.
Magazine first!
Do these idiots writing/editing these magazine actually read the final product before it goes to press??
One page.....loose 5 lbs in 3 days.....next page...doesnt X look skinny in her bikini......few pages on...fear for X as she piles on the pounds!......more pages on exclusive photos of X on the beach with cellulite...between all these pages photos of unhealthy looking, weirdly airbrushed skinny models and various diet adverts...WHAT THE F*CK??!!!!!
Daytime TV......
...loose weight for Xmas.....follow the loose 2 dress sizes in 3 days diet..etc etc..SERIOUSLY?!!
This drives insane...as a guy who spent 7 yrs with a recovering Anorexic we really need to sort this ridiculous cycle of poison out!!
You only have to flick through some of the questions here on Yahoo to find loads of girls asking how to loose weight, get skinny etc etc...i'm not suprised girls / women suffer much more eating problems than guys.....you're totally bombarded daily with this rubbish.
Its about time there was a code of conduct in place especially in magazines....how can just one magazine have such conflicting pages one after the other? Are these writers REALLY that stupid and irresponsible? Obviously the money they bring in is much more important than the well being of the readers.
Girls please dont read this utter crap.....just be yourself and happy the way you are.
Sorry for the rant but needed to let it out.....
