We live in a society in which young women often find it hard to feel at ease in their bodies. If one looks closer at how the media portrays women today it isn’t that suprising. A recent study reveals that in many of the big fashion magazines aimed at women 85% is commercial content – the aim of which is to sell products claiming to make us more beautiful. The women in the pictures are young, slender and photo-shopped to flawlessness. How can a woman navigate this sea of visual stimuli whilst remaining comfortable in her own body, the way it is? We are bombarded with suggestions on how to improve ourselves but few seem to ask the question: what do you want? What do you, yourself, want?<\/p>\n
