What no one tells you about dramatic weight loss

3. What a cool person!

Even the article accompanying this elides the unfortunate fact that many people who are always at the "right" weight all their life still don't have the fantasy bodies we see in the media. Of course those bodies, unairbrushed, don't look the way we seem them in the media either.

Our definition of what we "should" look like is so wildly unrealistic that it's appalling. I think it causes a lot of problems, especially for adolescents.

Our focus should be on health, not appearance.
