Yup we certainly have image problems, and not only with in the fashion industry but in certain other arenas.
Dance and gymnastics are still two sports that really really don't want an extra ounce on you.
Then there is the "keeping up" with the Jones mentality. Purchasing consuming and doing just because your fellow work mate or your neighbour has this or that or done this or that.
My biggest beef with the fashion industry is why isn't a size 6 or 10 the same measurements across all labels. I can't stand trying on clothes and never know which size to pick.
