Síntesis:
The art of self acceptance... Most females and an inceasing number of males dislike their bodies. Most have one or more body parts from thighs to eyes, or ears to rears they would like to change. Mass media teach that looking good and being happy go together. This video counters by showing viewers how to "accept your individual skeleton," focus on positive, and respect your body. Viewers watch a cast of characters struggle with the myth of the perfect body. They meet Jen: Jen, whose mother entered her in her first beauty pageant when she was five. She realize "Now mum wants me to like her and spend all day trying to build a perfect body.." Cathy thinks she's too fat and dreams of being model slim until she realizes the bulges make her fear she's "losing control of herself." Shelly feels invisible but realizes "as long as i stay fat, I can use that as an excuse for not dating. And then I dont have to get hurt." Jim is Brad's little brother who feels like a "geek" compared to Bard-the-jock. Heather is back from college where she claims to have learned "about losing weight from my roomates."
