A Gender Obsessed

A new study has shown that 57% of women have said that not one of the diets they’ve tried has worked!

“Are we asking too much of ourselves in terms of body image?”

Of the woman surveyed every single one had tried some form of fad diet or eating regime. Only 5% of the women said they never think about dieting or weight loss. 14% think about it on a weekly basis and 12% think about dieting or start a new diet every single day.

This obsession appears to be caused by social and cultural pressures, as 48% said they feel they’re expected to live up to catwalk models. 51% said they lack the motivation to make being slimmer a reality.

These findings beg the question: are we asking too much of ourselves in terms of body image or are we not pushing ourselves hard enough to achieve our goals?
