Time to wake up to a new body - Pg 117
Cosmo has a ten page spread, incorporating the (sometimes frightening) results of a recent body survey, hints on fitness and diet.
Reading this, it seems most people are confused about not only weight loss, but what constitutes a healthy lifestyle. The amount of young women suffering from eating disorders and obesity is scary - and that’s just among the readers of this magazine.
Page 123 has a lot of information on yoyo dieting, cutting out carbs, detoxing, and how much weight is healthy to lose in a week. Since most of these subjects are my absolutely most hated myths around health and fitness, I’m loving the answers Cosmo gives.
Page 124 explodes common exercise myths (well, exploding might be a bit over the top …). Again, all good advice.
I challenge you to read this article and think honestly about what your beliefs about your body are. Do you believe life would be easier if you were your ideal weight? Would you use amphetamines to help you shed kilos? Are you more concerned about your weight than the environment? How can we make this obsession with a perfect body more positive and healthy?
