Summary
It may seem like we are surrounded by messages to focus on our appearance: to lose fat, gain muscle, have thicker hair, have a different hair texture, have a different size and/or shape of nose, have lighter skin, have darker skin, be taller, have bigger breasts, have smaller breasts, have a more defined chest, have a smaller stomach, have a shapely bottom, have almond-shaped eyes, have double eyelids, have fewer wrinkles, have whiter teeth, and the list goes on. Some of these messages come from media, but they may also come from our family members, friends, partners, acquaintances, those in health or service professions, and even strangers.
