BODYIMAGE.

BODY IMAGE AND THE MEDIA:

Lots of t.v. Shows with thin people

General image, people want to be thin

People are never happy when they compare theirbodies to those of celebrities

EATING DISORDERS: ANOREXIA/BULIMIA

Thin people on t.v.

Want to be thinner

Thinner is “cool”, and “attractive”

People are always unsatisfied no matter how thinthey are

Anorexia= starving yourself

Not eating, like extreme dieting

Bulimia= eating and then making yourself puke.

Bulimia + anorexia= abuse of your body. Its NOTgoing to make you skinny, just going to hurt youeven more.

OBESITY

Difference between obese and overweight,overweight=20% body fat, obese 30+%

When you eat to much and get really fat

Eating out to much = fat. Eating out to much, notexercising and not being at all active = obese

Obesity= 3x as likely to have heart failure

90% of Americans are fat. 40% are obese. America =almost 400,000 obesity related deaths per year.

An obese person can have up to 4 liver problems,with out any outward signs.

THE PERFECT LIFE STYLE:

Aside from eating healthy and exercising, itDOESN’T exist.

No one diet can work on everyone. Everybody’sbody reacts differently to different things.

Some people only need 1500 calories a day, otherscan need up to 3500.

Diets= USUALLY DON’T WORK. Starvingyourself is NOT going to make you skinny, itsjust going to make you hungry. Exercise, eatinghealthy and being active WILL help you loseweight, and you won’t be abusing your body.

Thank you for listening, and remember...

THERE IS NO PERFECTLIFESTYLE, WEIGHT ORHEIGHT! YOUR BODY ISFINE THE WAY IT IS!!!!
