Body Image

 A recent study says women’s body images are based on what others think of their actual weight. Body image experts say curvaceous celebrities have not only made women think they have more problems to fix, but they also have made plastic surgery more socially acceptable. Obsessions over appearance have led to anorexia, bulimia and other eating disorders. Here are a few tips for promoting a healthy body image. Check out what some A-listers have said about body image in the past.
