PBR said:basically backing what Daisy said...remember there is a price to pay for bodies like that...most have no concept...again, that is their life-they go to work to make their bodies marketable and get paid for it...however, it costs them too...alot...risk-time-effort-money-their life is not condusive to the norm...hence, they are above normal in features and performance...I have said this before in other posts, here and on the AB board...there is a very dark side to this world...stepping into it, is a life changing experience...to say the least.
You know, that is so true. We see the "good" in magazines, we don't see the sacrifices, the health issues, the long-term effects, etc. It is easy to want to look like a picture, but if we lived their lives - we might think differently.
I recently started Fitness Modelling, and at first I was SO gung-ho about it. I was ready to immerse myself in the fitness world totally. I have been doing that for about a year now, and recently have realize how detrimental it is to ME. For basically a year, I have felt worthless - I will never be good enough, thin enough, muscle-y enough, fit enough, etc. It is really hard determining your worth based off OTHER PEOPLE'S perception. Psychologically, it is not easy....let alone physically. What they do to their bodies to make money is NOT worth it, IMO.
I have now had to go back and TOTALLY reevaluate what my goals are....
