If you don't have a six pack, if your legs aren't army strong or aren't the way you think they should look are you willing to show them? Guys have body image issues as well and are just as susceptible to TV ads as women. ...... and, you have 2 daughters why may have ideas about what they "should" look like based on TV and other kids at school who get their ideas from TV, Disney and the Miley Cyrus' and Selina Gomez's of the world.

We've all seen the celebrities who weren't satisfied with their looks, and ended up looking freaky: Priscilla Presley and Micky Rourke, to name two. Soon we're going to have a race of mutants, people with unnaturally full lips, plastic looking cheeks from implants, and the inability for facial expression due to Botox and eye lifts. I'm not ashamed of my age, and while I'd like to get into shape I don't think there's anything wrong with not being a size 1. So much emphasis is put on the outside that I have to wonder, what about inner beauty? Would I really want to be a 70 year old with the body of a 20 year old, but dead inside? I'm not surprised that your body image has been influenced by TV. It's impossible to get away from!

Curly-haired people want straight hair and vice versa. My skinny sister wants to be curvier and thinks she is too bony. She hates being an A cup. I hate being a DD cup. You're right - we should be more accepting of who we are. I think everyone wants what they don’t have. Curly-haired people want straight hair and vice versa.
