People diet for many
reasons. Some are at an unhealthy weight and need to pay closer attention to
their eating and exercise habits. Some play sports and want to be in top
physical condition. Others may think they would look and feel better if they
lost a few pounds.
Some people may diet
because they think they are supposed to look a certain way. Actors and
actresses are thin, and most fashions are shown off by very thin models. But
this look is unrealistic for most people — not to mention physically damaging
to the models and stars who struggle to maintain it.
By the time they turn 12
or 13, most teen girls start to go through body changes that are natural and
necessary: Their hips broaden, their breasts develop, and suddenly the way they
look may not match girls on TV or in magazine ads. Guys develop at different
rates, too. Those guys with washboard abs you see in clothing ads are usually
in their twenties.
