THE MAIN REASON TO BE ACTIVE IS TO LOSE

WEIGHT?

GIRLS SHOULD NOT GO ON WEIGHT LOSE DIETS?

- FACT-Your body is still growing (bones, organs, and brain)-Decrease in food can put those in risk and not allow them to grow properly.

*Right arm? Suddenly appeared on the cover. Left arm? Cut down by at least 1/3 of its original size. Wrinkles, normal complexion or any other signs of life on her face? Erased. Back? Sliced out almost entirely. Enough said.

* This scary display of digital manipulation in action was caught on popular clothing store Ann Taylor’s website in August 2010, when the women behind the feminist website Jezebel discovered the “before” image (on the left, obviously) being displayed while the startlingly narrower ”after” the image loaded. The already stunning model’s hips and thighs were shrunk to strikingly thin proportions, but her waist simply looks ridiculous.
