Body Image

A couple of images from the WAM. I find it fascinating to see how women's bodies have been represented through the ages, and in different cultures - it's amazing what is in fashion at a given moment in time. My book club is currently reading Trisha's book, and I'm learning how food issues can start as earlier as in the womb, or much later than the highly reported teenage years. Yes, there is the media and culture pressure to be thin - but there are really many reasons why women (and men) develop eating disorders. Fascinating - give it a read.
