PSYCHOLOGICAL STUDY FOR WOMEN 18+. ALL WOMEN MAY PARTICIPATE.
ESPECIALLY NEED SEXUAL MINORITIES.
(EATING BEHAVIORS/DISORDERS IN WOMEN OF DIFFERENT SEXUAL ORIENTATIONS, BODY IMAGE, ETC.)
The study involves responding to a number of detailed questions about one’s eating habits and attitudes, as well as completion of two reaction time measures. Participants will complete the study online in a single session, and may opt to do so at any time on their own personal computers (not a mobile device). Most people are able to complete the study in approximately 30 minutes. In exchange for completing the online survey, participants will have the option to be entered into a raffle for a chance to win a $50 Amazon.com gift card.
I am wondering if you might be willing to forward this to any female friends/contacts (ages 18+)

Maggie Goes on a Diet is about a 14 year old girl who transforms herself from a dumpy overweight girl, to a “pretty” soccer star.
What to dislike about this:
1. self published by a male author
2. amazon says its for children 4-8
3. use of word, “normal sized”
4. fodder for eating disorders
5. self esteem issues
6. the book cover- i mean, come on!

OPEN FORUM FOR DISCUSSION
stupidityinmyhead wrote in saying the following:
”Women do not need to be SKINNY. But we DO need to be healthy. Articles, media etc. encouraging unhealthy people to stay overweight and unhealthy in order to “be comfortable with themselves” annoy me just as much as the media encouraging weight loss.
Eating healthy does NOT equal a diet where you have to starve yourselves and live on carrots and lettuce and work out for 8 hours a day. It means staying active, resting and eating what you want without completely living on McDonald’s.
Why is it that people only see the two extremes (skinny, ED’s vs fat, unhealthy etc.) and not the middle position of this argument? “
I personally will not comment on this one. The only reason being because I want to make this an open forum for you to voice your own opinion on what was said. If I say more I’ll muddle the begining opinion. Ready… GO!

Here’s something extra for you to read on this fine summer day.
1. Love your swimwear, even if nobody else does.
2. Ignore “rules” for what you’re allowed to wear.
3. Your body is fine.
4. They’re (probably) not looking at you.
5. Body-policing is never OK.
