Check out the video on Ads, Photoshop and Self-Esteem to the left of this post, from www.mediaed.org and moveon.org on how media sells images of perfection, that can never be achieved, for one reason alone: To sell more products. Two great quotes from this video: "I wished I looked like Cindy Crawford" - Cindy Crawford commenting on photoshopped photos of herself. "I Don't Look Like that and I Don't Desire to Look Like That" - Kate Winslet commenting on British GQ Mag photoshopping one third of her weight off for the cover.
I posted this video because it illustrates a main message of our book, "Fresh Off Couch, What you Didn't know about Fitness Makes all the Difference!", is that perfection isn't real and thinness does not equal fitness! This realization is essential to building a physically and mentally healthy lifestyle. - MF
