I am getting tired of the constant commercials regarding new weight loss strategies. There are machines to trim every part of your body. Promises are made with quiet disclaimers that suggest anyone can lose a significant amount of weight with very little physical exertion. Smiling people are shown after losing weight with a measuring tape around their waist or a handsome partner by their side. The message is clear: those who are thin are happy and if you are not thin, then you only need to purchase a weight loss product to achieve happiness. These commercials symbolize the problem in a society where physical appearance is valued above personality.
