weight lossI think that some people have unhealthy perspectives concerning weight loss and weight gain. The younger generation here in the US seems particularly harsh when it comes to weight loss and weight gain. I have a feeling that this has a great deal to do with celebrity gossip websites and magazines. I have often seen scathing articles about actresses or singers who have gained enough weight to look curvaceous rather than emaciated. These articles accuse these female celebrities of being overweight. When these articles are on websites there are often accompanying comments made by kids saying that these celebrities are, indeed, fat when nothing could be further from the truth. The irony is that here in the US there are many people who really could do with going on diet and exercising in order to lose weight. According to statistics something like sixty percent of US citizens are overweight or obese. It seems to me that the western world has some very peculiar contradictory attitudes when it comes to weight loss and weight gain and I am not sure that I will ever understand it.
