81% of 10 year olds are afraid of being fat. 51% of 9 and 10 year old girls feel better about themselves if they are on a diet. (Mellin LM, Irwin CE & Scully S, 1992)

More than 2/3 of women ages 18-25 would rather be mean or stupid than be fat and over 50% would rather be hit by a truck. (Martin, 2007)

As many as 10 million females are suffering from anorexia or bulimia. That’s more than are suffering from breast cancer. (National Eating Disorder Association)
