women and body image

So I just finished reading an article in Glamour magazine on how men like women who are not surgically enhanced. It seems like no matter where I look, there is something about weight mentioned. I understand our country has a "big" problem with weight and it seems to be getting worse. I think this needs to be worked on, but then on the other hand, we have so many girls with eating disorders. I think that Hollywood sends a bad message to girls with all the "skinny actresses" and all the talk about who lost weight and who gained weight. No wonder girls have problems. We want to look good and feel good. I think this is a big reason why women go out and have surgery done. So as I read this article and this guy wrote about how men don't like women with fake breasts or what not, then why do we go thru the trouble of dieting or getting surgery. It isnt just to impress the opposite sex, its to help our self esteems. Im just wondering in the long run if it really helps or hinders. Women need to learn to love themselves they way they are. Also we aren't getting any younger so why try and make ourselves look 30 years younger than we are. Im a firm believer in "beauty comes with age".
