I agree. it's not important to be thin. its a scycological thing that media and americanist norms have.

scy: to be beautiful you need to lose weight.

americanist: to be accepted, you need to change. very fast!

What is making them obsess their weight?

-peer pressure?
-media, magazines etc?
-an idol, celebrity, friend?
-psychological, a sense of control?
-self-esteem, self-concept?
-bullying?

I can go on, theres more than one reason that can cause this not only girls but boys too to obsess abou their weight.

I don't know, but I know that I definitely prefer girls with a little bit of weight on them to skinnier girls anyway.
Much, much, much nicer figures normally. got to have those curves.

I'm a girl and feel fine bout my body.(I am average build) the reason...all my friends are guys who hate it when girls are too skinny. I think the problem is that woman think that women should be skinny and shapeless like men. They should buy some men's magazines and actually see what looks good. And pray that the sticks with boobs out there would eat some more. :-)
