Male Body Image

I believe that the Male body image vs the female body image are two polar opposite situations. The reality is that a male body is easier to maintain an acceptable shape or physique then a female one. This is mainly because the male body had more muscle and males are born with more athletic ability. There's no doubt that there is millions of out of shape males in this world but it doesn't seem as important to them as it does to females. It is a lot easier to turn fat into muscle then to just burn it off. This makes losing weight easier for males then females. Sure males want to be in good shape but I don't see males saying "I want Brad Pitt's Body" on a daily basis. As for females I often hear who they idealize and want to look just like. I think liposuction is a ridiculous procedure that only lazy and out of shape people do. If your really to large to loose weight then you have some serous issues. Just looking back at history it seems less and less people were overweight as time goes backwards and is it fast food to blame? I don't think so, I think the reason people in general are getting out of weight is due to a increase in technology and a increase of laziness. People seem like there is more important things than working out, like watching t.v or browsing the web and that is the major problem in the world we live in today. Therefor, regardless if your male of female there is a obease problem developing in this country and only yourself can take steps to prevent this to happening to yourself.

Body image is a very interesting subject. The stats tell a valuable story of life and it is sad to think about. Body image can be a very personal issue and embarrassing for most young females. As much as 88% of young girls feel negative about their body shape and up to half have a eating disorder. It is sad that the world we live in may judge people by their weight or physical appearance but it is inevitable for many reasons. I do not think it is difficult to get into shape. You can eat as much as you want as long as you exercise. I think a lack of exercise is the main reason for obesity now a days. People seem to be getting more lazy as time goes on. I am sick of people playing video games instead of playing basketball. I don't blame fast food for obesity strictly because of people generally being lazy. There is so much time over the week when I'm just sitting around, there is plenty of opportunity's to get outside and do something proactive. All in all this was a very disturbing but true article about body images in young adults and how we are brainwashed about our body's.
