We are a culture of individuals trying to climb the social ladder. We are always trying to get better than those around us. It is the American way. We are a capitalistic society where some succeed and others fail. Those who fail are preyed upon by those who have already succeeded, and with, that our success is never enough success. This is especially seen in the 60-billion-dollar weight loss industry in America. Statistics show that women are going on diets regularly, but are often unsuccessful in attempts to achieve a body that they think will elevate their social statuses.
Females also indulge in the purchasing of these diet fads and programs most. This trend is also depicted in the media. We often hear movie protagonists show that they are not pleased with the way they look because it stops them from finding love or from being better than other girls. “Does this make me look fat?” is the same overused line that we are used to hearing in movies. It’s really asking, “Am I good enough?”
The answer is yes! You are definitely good enough and you are more than a fat joke, or the plus-sized section, or even some weight loss program. May 6th is National No Diet Day and that is pretty much like a cheat day for women restricting
