The Perfect Body

In today's society there seems to be an obsession over women and their bodies. There is an unreal expectation for women to have a perfect body, they cannot be too skinny or too heavy. Female celebrities are put under a scrutinizing microscope, if they gain weight they are called fat, and if they lose weight they must have an eating disorder. These standards are then given to all women, not just celebrities. Women are then forced to take extremes in achieving this "perfect body". These extremes include things such as anorexia, bulimia, or the consumption of dangerous diet supplements. It is sad thing that women go to such extremes in order to meet these standards that have been created.
