Body image

In the cause and effect essay, Drugs, Sports, Body Image and G.I.Joe,  I never realized that boys would or could suffer from the idea of having a poor body image. It just seems that society puts more of the focus on women, especially young girls and teens.

In the writing suggestions for a blog it asks that we be honest about whether or not we would change something about our bodies and why. So here it goes. I would absolutely love to get a tummy tuck. After having three kids. I find that I don't have the desire to exercise daily, while watching everything I eat, just so I can be picture perfect thin. Okay, so I would love to be back to my pre-pregnancy weight, but that's probably true for most women. I'm not a large person, but I am over weight in respects to my height but at 5'1 anything over 135lbs is considered heavy.

So why not develop a drug that helps us grow a few inches instead of losing them? I would buy that drug, simple because I wouldn't have such a difficult time finding pants. Usually my jeans have to be shortened and my capri's are more like high-waters. If only I was 5'3 or 5'4, awe but I'm not so for now I will continue to except who I am right now. I will continue to make good choice in my diet and exercise but I'm not going to be slim like a model----it's genetically impossible.
