I found the respondents answers incredibly interesting, it was a huge amount of people felt that the media's representation were an unhealthy image to follow. I agree most with the comment highlighted, the media needs to promote health and keeping fit.
I think it's difficult to say. It's perfectly possible to as skinny as the media say a female should be whilst still being healthy, i think it varies from case to case really. It's mentally unhealthy I suppose, but physically, it varies.

Yes, in that it is healthier to be fit, and often thinner, as opposed to being overweight. Some figures who are given media attention however, place the emphasis on being as thin as possible. This is equally not a healthy image to follow.

I think people who have something to say about it just say it to try and feel more comfortable with being overweight! Obviously the media that drives size 0 is still a problem

Everything apart from the fashion industry isn't so bad, Also on the other end of the scale I think the recent adaptation from the fashion industry of plus size models could potentially be dangerous from a health point of view. I feel it may cause people to ignore a genuine problem due to being afraid of this new "fat shaming" adjective thats come about.

I think they represent and show 'fit' bodies, which are clearly healthy (healthy eating, good diet etc). Physically - yes, physiologically - no

No, but there comes a point when a person becomes too fat for me to think they're attractive

a healthy, normal body size, like i would imagine question 6 to be portraying

Thats subjective as everyone has a different perspective of what "thin" is. But I would say that people around a healthy body weight and body fat percentage tend to be more physically attractive that those who aren't. Whether this is instinctive or due to social conditioning i'm not sure.

I personally don't believe that it is the beauty ideal, but if you are thin you will more likely be considered physically attractive.

Not thinness, but a healthy weight and level of fitness

It is the social idea, although I'm not sure I agree
This response shocked me actually I felt given the chance people would lose weight but its pretty much 50/50.
These answers were a great insight my favourite response was, You have to be happy with your own health/ looks I believe to practice "self-love"
I don't think your physical appearance affects your happiness, but more how comfortable you are with your appearance, so partly, i suppose.

If you feel good your happier

No, though you are likely to be happier if you are happy with your physical appearance.

I think it's difficult to feel in good spirits if you don't feel good about the way you look.

I'd say its completely down to each individual to decide this. It'l be a different answer for each person.
1/28/2015 4:53 PM View respondent's answers
Different for different people

not completely but I think a lot of happiness comes from feeling good and healthy...which correlates with physical appearance. You know what I mean.
