| Too many girls have fallen into the lie portrayed in the media that you must be thin to be beautiful. Advertisements proudly flaunt immodestly dressed models with jutting ribs and stick-thin legs. These horrifying images are displayed in magazines, on billboards, on runways, on television and in the movies. Many celebrities who act as role models for young girls portray negative body images as well. Eating disorders are on the rise as more and more girls experience the irrational fear of becoming "too fat". A woman's value should not be determined by her clothing size. Brilliant young women with beautiful hearts are being overlooked because they can not squeeze into a size 2. Girls need to know the truth. They need to experience freedom from the lies of the media. This site was created to offer hope to young women everywhere. We want to provide the true facts about this issue while offering words of hope and encouragement for those who are currently struggling. |
