If you think losing weight will be the magical solution to your problems, think again. You'd be surprised just how many women believe that losing weight will turn their life into one of those giant diet ads. Now, while most will agree the last three lines were pretty laughable, I believe the whole ad is. Being thin doesn't guarantee any of those things. Teenagers are especially prone to this sort of advertising.
Every teenager goes through the phase when they feel very unsure of themselves.
All they need to do is flip through the pages of a teenage fashion magazine to see a virtual mountain of weight loss gimmicks, promising everything from dozens of boyfriends to making their friends die of envy. Wonder diet was never really conclusively tested and worked for one lab rat out of two hundred. When I was a teenager I thought that dieting would be the answer to all my problems. That being thin would somehow instantly bring the happiness, popularity, and self-love I was yearning for. That and some of the more shallow type guys were more interested in me.
