A member asked:
Are women still under a lot of pressure to be skinny?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Public models of body size are constantly presented to young women especially from fashion models. This creates a climate of thinness which is often imitated and can be a lifelong pattern. This is modified by the family environment including the weight of mom. There is hardly a women's magazine which does not emphasize this imagery.
