"I would love to help anyone who is anorexic or bulemic, just ask for my help if I can."
How I did it:
Well, I didn't really because originally I believe this goal was set up a number of years ago to try and stop some 43 thingers who had "I want to be anorexic" as their goal. Nevertheless, for the people who really suffer with this emotion pain I would love to help them out and learn more about what they really go through. For myself, I could never imagine starving myself because of what I see that others don't.
This must be because I was skinny in HS and started lifting weights to "gain weight" and "be stronger" which helped me improve my overall confidence in myself. Nevertheless, I believe there is so much pressure to be thin, especially for most women that they believe that they must lose weight, diet, exercise and worst starving themselves.
We see the fashion super models in size zero clothing (what is size zero anyway?) and the young woman see this or read the fashion magazines (I still do) and use the images as role models. Only the thing is these are "false images" even in the runway shows, through lighting, and photography techniques the runway models appear to be lighter than they really are.
I hope my love of women's fashion and my comments on 'Project Runway" have not caused any further damage and just promoted that "being skinny" is the way for women to be gorgeous. Because I believe all women are beautiful and gorgeous no matter what body weight they are, it should not force pressure on every women to diet and starve themselves to be something they already are, beautiful and gorgeous and amazing.
If I have done that, I apologize and hope the images I show are just for my love of women's fashions and not body images which they are not meant to be. I just love the show and the concept of taking an idea, a challenge and creating a beautiful runway design from that creativity. I feel in love with the show for that reason, and the love of colorful outfits they show on TV and in women's fashion magazines. That's why most clothing is sold in different sizes and to woman who have different size figures.
I don't know what else I can say about this goal.
Lessons & tips:
As I have mentioned, I just hope that the women who view my colorful images of women's fashion design, view the clothing not for the size of the super models who model the clothes on the runway. Yes, the models are beautiful and gorgeous looking but they have been chosen from hundreds of other women who compete for this honor. We all can't look like "super models" yet some women may try. I just hope they don't try so hard they starve themselves dangerously thin and end hospitalized for this reason. That was not my intention of writing a goal about my love of Project Runway, I hope everyone understands that I really care for the welfare of women and when I read that one of my close and dear friends on 43 things was afflicted by this terrible disease, it hurts me to think that I may have been somehow responsible for showing 'false images' of "super role models," and just put more pressure on them to starve themselves to be as thin. Again, I am deeply sorry for causing this pain if this is so true.
