Hello lovely people!
My name is Valerie and like many
people out there I do enjoy television and fashion, but I am a firm believer
that you should love yourself just as much as the people around you do.
Having first hand experience with eating disorders I can safely say that
the media can really have negative affects on your body image and self-esteem.
Although I didn't experience an eating disorder myself, people near and
dear to my heart have and seeing them hate themselves the way they did was
emotionally and physically draining for the person suffering from this illness
and their support system around them. I started wondering how the models in the
fashion industry felt comfortable being unrealistic role models for young women
and to my dismay, these models did not choose to be this skinny. Many of
them in fact also suffer from eating disorders and so I hope this blog helps
give a little insight on the fashion industry and how models are affected by
their body image just as much as women viewing magazine ads etc. are too.
Thank you!
