Facts about body image and self esteem

"Women are sold to the diet industry by the magazines we read and the television programs we watch, almost all of which make us feel anxious about our weight.“
Jean Kilbourne Media Activist

"A woman's body shape dominates her whole life - it's a modern day obsession. One of the driving forces is that women are increasingly influenced by celebrities - who let's face it don't live a normal life - and it can make a cruel comparison for real women trying to juggle work and family"
Sian Rees, editor of REAL magazine

The survey of 5,000 women found that eight out of 10 women thought their lives would improve considerably if they lost weight. In an attempt to achieve the perfect body, 86 per cent have tried dieting, on average 32 times, with one in 10 saying they are permanently on a diet. 25% of all women have tried slimming pills, 25 per cent have also fasted and four out of 10 said they have suffered an eating disorder".
