This video pretty accurately demonstrates how beauty standards are an ever changing thing, that are quite literally impossible to keep up with. The "ideal" woman is just not achievable, because it would require plastic surgery every ten years! This video demonstrates how in time periods long ago, it was actually considered desirable to be more plump. Anxiety over weight is one of the most prominent problems for young girls and women in America. It is important to remember that all bodies are good bodies.

Pop culture's ideal woman is always changing. It's like the flavor of the month. If we define ourselves by these body trends then will will always devalue ourselves since these idealized bodies are the exception and not the norm.
