I found each of these images on http://postsecret.blogspot.com/ and found it quite disturbing that so many secrets are sent in about negative body image. What do you think about these postcards? I wonder how many women (or men) feel the same way as those who sent in such secrets? Eating disorders, perfect lives, and thinness are not related. One does not give you the other. Being thin does not fix life's problems, but why do so many of us think that it will? How many more women out there have these same secrets?

I do like this Blog, it is really nice.
Yeah, I would definitely agree that there is an underlying problem in our society today about being ultra-skinny. Because to a majority of girls out there, ultra-skinny = mega-beauty. Look at the magazines geared toward teens and young adults. I can't say if I've ever seen a "normal" sized model. Each one has to be at most 90 pounds soaking wet. But hey, that's supposed to be PRETTY! Nah, I don't believe so. That dog picture was actually a postcard?? That is quite scary and pathetic.
