Day Twenty-Three- Did the media play a role in your wanting to lose weight?

I don’t think it did, I’m losing weight for myself. So I can be happy in my own body again, so I fit in my old clothes, so I don’t feel fat with my friends.

Though, I suppose it’s always hard to tell nowadays whether you’ve been influenced by the media - it’s everywhere.
I suppose it always adds to it, seeing these beautiful models everywhere you go is bound to add to the desire to be thin. I mean, you turn on your tv and within 2 minutes there will be at least one amazing, thin girl. So, to that question I’d like to say no… but I feel it’d probably be lying.
