However I have to say when I look at magazines I look for inspiration so maybe showing the elite in fit healthy would be best?

I understand that people say they want to see normal girls but frankly I’m not sure I do I really want something to strive towards. Yes I do feel they have gone too far and a lot of what is published is unrealistic and impossible to achieve in a healthy manner but there still needs to be some level of perfection. Bring on the fit rather then starving.

However, I completely agree that it should be made known to younger girls at an earlier age that that isn't what those people actually look like!

Now I walk by every magazine or tv ad and think to myself, "Whoooooaaaa thats a lot of photoshop!" It actually keeps my self esteem up knowing that these gorgeous gitls really are not flawless.

It really is misleading.
