I could solve the entire eating disorder thing overnight.
Put a nice dress on a woman and have her walk by a construction site during lunch. If there are fewer than half a dozen “Hey mommas” or “Looking goods,” then they’re too heavy.
When they hit the magic number of six, they should stop losing weight.
The true issue is, many women take criticism about their weight too too too to heart.
IOW, if there are 10 guys at the construction site, and only 8 yell out, then she’ll still think she’s a sow.
Even if 10 yell out, she may think “They’re just being nice.” Or “they really mean it as an insult and they’re laughing.”
Women’s sizes are really subjective, a size 6 in one store is a size 8 or 10 in another store.
