Perfection
When I see "the perfect girl" on a cover of Fitness magazine, jealousy and guilt begin to boil in me. By "perfect" I mean, large breasts, shiny thick hair, a golden tan, beautiful smile, and shapely thighs. Thoughts like "I too want to weigh ninety pounds" or "I should have never chomped down those M&MS," begin to run through my mind. It seems to me that the magazine is society telling me that life would be perfect if I was thin. I will be beautiful, healthy, accepted and happy if I resembled the image of "the perfect girl."

I cared too much about what people thought of me, and my health and self-esteem needed to rise. My addiction was becoming dangerous. Fitness magazines tried to make me achieve the impossible by putting "perfect girls" on the covers and telling me to look like them. I know that they are nothing more than normal girls with flaws that any computer can remove. In reality nobody is or will ever be "perfect" and Fitness should put an end to trying to make perfection appear achievable. one, forbidden cravings like chocolate and cheesecake came to me. That was when I turned to HYDROXYCUT, a weight
