on Aug 3rd, 2006Over 40? Then You Must Hate Your Body
If you thought age brings maturity, forget it. There’s a stunning study out that says women in their 40’s HATE their bodies. Baby Boomers are going to do for plastic surgery what the intermittent windshield wiper did for cars…wipe away all those tears.
Women in their 40s are developing eating disorders because they hate the way they look, a survey suggests. More than 70% of women had made serious attempts to diet in the last year and 58% had “disordered” eating patterns.
Most of the 2,000 women questioned by Top Sante magazine were unhappy with their bodies and half had had cosmetic surgery, or would consider it.
