Yeah, it's all about looks. It even makes me, someone who is supposedly "normal weight", feel fat and inadequate. I really struggle with body image and try to not focus on any of those articles. Our society is still so shallow, looks and money are what seem to matter. That attitude really hurts people. My 9 year old daughter, who had this perfect little body, keeps telling me she is fat. argh!
My therapist's office had these glamour type mags in the waiting room with these horribly thin models in it. I actually told my therapist that they may not want to have those kinds of magazines in their office. I'm sure they have a lot of clients who deal with body image issues. I haven't seen those mags since!!
Since obesity is the big national problem, I doubt you will find many (if any) mags that address your problem. Best to find support elsewhere-like here!
HUGS!
