Time and time again, the human mind never fails to allure me. It intrigues me how easily influenced our mind can be. Pessimistic influences from our peers are understandable at times; but we ourselves beguiling it? To say, "That's beyond my understanding", is an understatement! More than that, it is surprisingly shocking to fathom how self-centred people have nurtured into.
Flaws are the only trait that they see and calories are the only maths that they mastered in! Well, weighing scales, on the other hand, are the most dreaded equipment. Every time they stood in front of a mirror, they look at it in dismay. Their inability to accept the slightest imperfections and fear of rejections that are deeply etched, causes them to want to fit-in to the 'normal' range that society has formulated. Mind you, it's never going to be any less than 'perfect'.
On a long run, these intangibles turn into a 'voice', a conquering one that's hard to be defied! Gradually, it takes over their entire thought process and orders them on what to and not to do. People are blindfolded by the perfection that the voice makes them feel and unwittingly an abusive theorization develops. Every ounce of life is restrained by the voice. Regretfully, they fail to realise that the voice is only hindering personal growth and regresses their life in many aspects.
The numbers of people with eating disorders are sky-rocketing in a day-to-day basis. What is even more disheartening is, children as young as 8 years old being diagnosed as bulimic or anorexic. My mind boggles on how it has become a norm for kids to dump their foods instead of savouring them.
If that's not tormenting enough, there comes re-constructive surgeries. I am very sure that you would have heard of the Human Barbie and many of such kinds. We, for one, do know that it is humanly impossible to have the Disney princess-like waistline. Nevertheless, there are people who go against the nature to get the so-called perfect hourglass figure by removing their ribs!
The society that we ceaselessly want to please will never actually be impressed. There will always be 'flaws' and continuous laughing behind our backs. Wanting to have a sexy and slender body is understandable and is totally achievable with proper work-out routines and a balanced-diet. Yet, it is of utmost importance for us to realise that our worth isn't skin deep! All we have to do is to learn to be contented and happy in our own body, whatever size it is.
How, you ask? Try, Honeybunch. Try! When something terrible can be given life to without much effort, why can't we build thoughts for our own betterment? :)
People are too beauty conscious and are always in pressure that society imposes. They let others define their beauty and this phenomenon, little by little, embeds into their subconscious mind. The way they look physically is never satisfying and, in turn, they gravitate to wanting more. A self-created image forms in the mind and they consistently keep comparing themselves to it.

This is an exceptionally grim issue!!!
