"A magazine is not amirror. Have you ever seen anyone in a magazine who seemed even vaguely like you looking back? (If you have turn the page.) Most magazines are made to sell us a fantasy of what we're supposed to be. They reflect what society deems to be a standard, however unrealisitc or unattainable that standard is. That doesn't mean you should cancel your subsription. It means you need to remember that it's just ink on paper. And that whatever standards you set for yourself, for how much you want to weigh, for how hard you work out, or how many times you make it to the gym, should be your standards. Not someone else's."

Coretta Scott King
