This picture is called 'Never Enough'. In this picture the girl (who though is above the age of 18, is still very young) is reading a magazine that is notorious for taking pictures, though of abnormally thin and unblemished women, does in actuality photoshop and airbrush women more often times than not. These characterizations of women, like the disney heroine's, cause women to see these unatainable 'ultra-models' as the norm and not realize the fact that they are beautiful women, and worthy as they are. In the picture she is eating ice cubes as her meal instead of a normal meal. It is known that, as well as stereotyped, that women that are trying to acheive a thinner body will eat ice cubes in order to have the feeling of being full instead of eating a healthy meal. Eating in this extreme manner, though effective in the short-term, is not a way of being healthy for the sake of maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Society is not accepting of women as they are, and instead places its own preconcieved notions of what women should look like, especially those that would have a place in a large public forum. The girl in this picture is fine as she is, and doesn't need to conform to the misconceptions placed on her by society.

This picture shows a young woman comparing her image with other women. There are only two reasons that I can think of that would be why a woman would be looking at an issue of playboy magazine. One reason would be that she is attracted to women. The other reason would be because she is comparing herself to the models. Unfortunately, all women compare themselves to other women at least some of the time. The worst part about the situation in this phot is that in her mind, this young woman is probably compare herself to the impossible, or possible only with money and plastic surgery, or unhealthy eating habits. Society has us believing that skinny with big boobs is the idea of beauty. 9 times out of 10 when a woman loses weight, her boobs shrink, so being skinny with big boobs is very hard to accomplish when living a natural, healthy lifestyle.
This picture is totally true and i like how you set it up. girls dont read anything else. they want to know how to look and feel good and if you by this you can look like this. girls take advantage of themselves.
This girl wants to be like the girls she sees in the magazine. She will do whatever it takes to look like those girls even though their pictures are not even realistic. SHe will go to great lengths in order to be at the weight that the girls in the pictures are at. Even if it causes danger to her body.
