I know women like to think that women dress to impress men or who ever but in truth I think women are more self conscious about their bodies with other women. They think there is a measuring stick. Media has put it upon women, they need to conform and look appealing in one way not another. What is telling is this comes from the old philosophy that skinny or slim means you are in shape. Being ‘In Shape" means you are in shape. There are lots of slender gals who are NOT in shape, and lots of full figured women who ARE in shape. Going back to the slim is in turn of the century through the 50’s and 60’s till now… slim was maintained by pills, cigarettes and of course eating problems. I have met allot of skinny sickly women who maintain their stick shapes and are the most unhealthy women I know. In teaching women to appreciate their bodies, and shapes, I hope I have made women feel good about themselves, no matter their shape, and realize to be healthy does not mean be skinny. We are women, not sticks.
