Aiming for "perfection"!!


When is thin TOO thin!

According to Australian psychologist Professor Jane Usher, women's health expert from the University of Western Sydney, women should stop striving for so-called physical perfection because even those who have it, aren't happy.

56 models and 53 non-models were questioned by London's City University. The results showed that models felt their lives were out of their control, and that their bodies were there only aspect they have power over. This resulted in unhealthy physical obsessions and low self-esteem.

Professor Usher said, "they suffer incredible anxiety because they can't stop trying to control their bodies with dieting exercise and purging."

So here's the rub. Most of us think that models feel really good themselves. That doesn't seem to be the case after all.
