Is losing weight for beauty necessary

losing weight should be for health and not for beauty because, if you are healthy, then you are beautiful. losing weight for health is okay but losing weight just for beauty makes you sick. some people won't think about their health and just think that if they lose weight then it's okay. the media has a big role on this part because they are what people listen to/look at everyday and sometimes when they say something, people believe them. people should be more open to different shapes and sizes and not just have that one figure that they look at and say it's the ideal. which is sometimes what the media implies or in other cases, suggests. so i do agree with you. but as i have said in most topics here, we can't make other people decide for themselves because they would still do the things that they want to do. what we can do is educate them about it and make them realize that we can be beautiful whatever shape or size we are.

I lost weight by simply eating healthy, i chose the healthiest foods i can and never starve myself, i think it's silly to go on no fat, no carb and so on diets as each of these nutrients are needed for healthy life. i'm currently raw vegan and hight hight 5'2" i weight 125lb. it looks like it's slightly more then should be (with this hight women should be 105-115lb) but i work out and have muscles, they are adding to healthy weight, so it's perfectly healthy size for me... as for beauty, i think people look their best when they are healthy, not super skiny.

Losing weight is not just for your beauty regimen but for good health as well. It will help to minimize or hinder all kinds of diseases. Therefore people must choose what kind of foods they will eat, we must be more conscious of what food we take. Bottom line, to lose weight we need to change or do something with our lifestyle which includes our eating habits....

I agree. My mom will go days on eating hardly anything, or she will eat pretzels and low fat foods, practically starve herself, and she hardly loses weight, I feel bad because she isnt enjoying life or food. I dont think she is fat, I think she is average and I hate that she eats like this. Me personally, I want to lose the weight I gained during my pregnancy, and get more in shape, I have no desire to be a size 1 or 3. my perfect size is a 13. I like to have some curves, and my husband loves it as well. Im not sure why boys are so into the skeletal girls, I think women should have curves.
