HELP NOW PLEASEE !!!!

Each day a person is exposed to many different things that can shape the way they feel or view themselves. Sometimes this exposure may pressure a person to develop an ideal body weight to fit an image according to societal norms. In reality, there is no ideal body weight but there is a healthy weight.
In one paragraph, explain how technology has influenced the perception of body image and weight management in both negative and positive ways. Use supporting details in the form of facts, statistics, and examples. In another paragraph, describe an individual healthy weight-management plan. The plan should include specific details about goals, diet, exercise, and evaluative monitoring.

Answer: I had the same thing, trust me.

Explanation: Technology has influenced the perception of body image and weight management in negative ways by showing advertisements of what the "average american" looks like which can cause viewers depression and anxiety and lower self esteem. This is because by showing slim and skinny women and men, it makes viewers compare themselves to those people even though there is no actual image of what the average american looks like. America is a free country where people can freely express themselves and look, feel and do the things they want their way. When teens see these advertisements, they feel that they are not good enough and, for girls, will feel less of a woman seeing a beautiful and slim lady with beautiful makeup and nice clothes when in reality, reality itself is not actually like that. Everyone is beautiful in their own way and that is what will make us unique. Some ways that this can be positive are big companies like Dove, they are very good in showing commercials that include women that come in all different forms, shapes and sizes, which makes viewers feel better about themselves knowing that there are women like themselves, on advertisements and that it's not just about skinny and thin women. Dove shows women on there advertisements that are skinny, overweight, they have freckles and maybe even don't shave their legs. This helps show viewers that they must love themselves.

Some goals to achieve weight loss positively, are to exercise, eat healthy and get plenty of good sleep. Eating a balanced diet and 2-3 meals a day is bow you can lose weight and maybe even have cleat skin. Exercising can also help with losing weight and it can help the mid as well. It can help keep a positive mind and increase self esteem.
