Sad thing is that it continues as they grow older. I always tell my daughter when she is looking at pics of models in the mags, that it is an
airbrushed picture. Sure, you don't see the cellulite, the stretchmarks, the blemishes..etc because the photographer airbrushes that picture to perfection. Thank God, the "large" look in becoming the rage now, instead of the skin tight, non-there clothes.
There should be MORE media on the what happens when you starve yourself to be thin. Look at Mariah Carey, she openly admitted that her breakdown was in part to "staying thin". I also tell me daughter that genetics have a huge part in it. If your family has big hips, then you might as well accept that you won't be a size 5, no matter how hard you try. I could go on and on with this, but I will just leave quietly.
