Stringent diet: Is spring break worth the pain?
With spring break just around the corner, many young adults feel increased pressure to conform to society's idea of the "perfect body."
HANNAH SUNDERMEYER
entertain@kansan.com
By this time next week, the holy grail of second-semester spring break will be upon us. Whether you are hitting the sandy shores, heading up north for skiing and snow or simply making your way back home for a little R&R, every college student is rejoicing at a much deserved seven-day vacation from classes.
Elizabeth Stigler, a PhD student in Women, Gender and Sexuality Studies at the University of Kansas, feels strongly about eliminating the unrealistic expectations our society places on body type and weight.
Unfortunately, with spring break also comes an increase in crash dieting, hours spent at the gym and criticism placed on our bodies. This time of year we are bombarded with magazine and television ads encouraging us to work toward a "hot spring break beach bod."
Particularly in our media today, whether it's through celebrities in the public eye or
"This kind of obsession with the fact that a number defines you and defines your body, and it's ideal to be a size double zero, or some other kind of ridiculous number, is totally an
unrealistic goal," Stigler said. "It just kind of perpetuates the myth of the perfect body."
"I actually know a girl who chose not to go on spring break solely because she didn't want to be around a lot of college kids in a swimsuit."
LAUREN PATELLI
Sophomore from Leavenworth
even something as subtle as an ad in a magazine, pop culture has a negative impact on the way we view ourselves.
"(There's) this constant reassertion that you should be striving to be thin all the time... everything you do should be motivated around being a thin body," Stigler said. She thinks the idea that this body type is the only size that's valued really needs to be examined.
According to the "Do Something" positive body image campaign, 58 percent of college girls feel pressured to be
a certain weight. The campaign says more than one-third of young adults who actively diet will merge into pathological dieting, and approximately 25 percent of that third will suffer from a partial or full-on eating disorder.
Stereotypically, an obsession with body image is associated with women, but Stigler said body dysmorphic disorder actually affects more men than women.
"College students are constantly affected by the pressure to fit in our 'size zero' kind of culture, and spring break heightens that pressure," said Lauren Patelli, a sophomore from Leavenworth. "I actually know a girl who chose not to go on spring break solely because she didn't want to be around a lot of college kids in a swimsuit."
So before you hit the beach, embrace your insecurities and cut out the self-criticism. Appreciate what makes you, you! Surround yourself with friends and family who make you feel good about yourself, because everyone deserves to feel comfortable in their own skin.
