HOW PERSPECTIVES ON SIZE CHANGE



In the 50s, this was perfection.  I still think it is!

In the 50's in America, this woman's body was thought of as "perfection", she had hips, curves, and was proportionate. Now in America, there is an obsession with "thin" and looking like a hanger. 

My perspective on body is this:...

Medically speaking, a healthy body is one that does not have a high amount of fat in the abdominal area. Since fat in the area are usually portents of diabetes, heart disease, and a high amount of other fat-related diseases. I think beauty is beauty and as long as one lives a healthy life-style, exercises, eats in moderation, and keeps their abdominal fat to a minimum. They are on the path to life-long fitness. 

It's just interesting to see how society sets its standards for beauty and how unfortunately the individuals in society can be enslaved by the desperation for perfection.
