Women and men are targeted in the media all the time about their bodies and we don't even see it. We look at these covers of magazines and read the articles on how Kim Kardashian got thin after her baby or how to get the perfect summer body, and try to get the bodies that they suggested to us. We are being pressured into being thin by the media everyday, through magazines, ads, and commercials. The media is shaping the way we think about ourselves. If we didn't have these constant reminders about how we need to be thin, women and men would be more confident about their bodies. How do you feel about seeing this on our magazine covers? Do you feel differently about this topic? Do these magazine covers influence your decisions about your body image?
