If Barbie Were a Real
Woman, She Would Look Like the Rest of
Us!
Tune in for “Healthy is the New Skinny” on the “Dr. Andrea Show” as she Discuss the
Obsession of Body Perfection in America
If Barbie were a real woman she would have: divorced Ken, had 1-tummy tuck under her belt, endured 2 lay-offs, suffered with
thinning hair, turned off the lights while making love and probably been treated for her depression! Come on people let’s get real; Barbie would look and feel like most of us!
Forty to fifty percent of women in the U.S. are under pressure to measure up to a certain social and cultural ideal of beauty, which can lead to poor body image. Women are
constantly bombarded with "Barbie-doll" images.

· It is estimated that 40-50% of American women are trying to lose weight at any point in time.
· One out of every four college aged women has an eating disorder.
· Almost half of all women smokers smoke because they see it as the best way to control their weight. Of these women, 25% will die of a
disease caused by smoking.
· At 5′9” tall and weighing 110 lbs, Barbie would have a BMI of 16.24 which is considered severely underweight. Because of her ridiculous proportions (3
9” bust, 18” waist, 33” thighs and a size 3 shoes!), if she was a real woman, she wouldn’t be able to walk upright - she would have to walk on all fours.
· At age thirteen, 53% of
American girls are “unhappy with their bodies.” This grows to 78% by the time girls reach seventeen.
By presenting an ideal that is so difficult to achieve and mai
ntain, the cosmetic and diet product industries are experiencing exponential growth. It's no accident that our daughters, nieces and BFF’s are increasingly brainwashed into thinking that thinness is the essential crite
rion of beauty. The message we're hearing is either "all women need to lose weight" or that the natural aging process is a "disastrous" fate.
The next live show, scheduled June 29th at 1pm ET, will feature a discussion titled, "Healthy is the New Skinny"! Dr. Andrea says, “The media has it all wrong and it’s got us all trippin’! The average American woman is 5’4” tall and weighs 140 pounds. The average American model is 5’11” tall and weighs 117 pounds.”
Dr. Andrea will be joined by Blanche Williams, former model, Sirius-XM Radio talk show personality, author, media literacy advocate, and management director for acclaimed documentary The Soul’s of Black Girls, focusing on the impact the media has on black women’s self-image. Blanche has been involved with health, wellness and empowerment for over 10 years and believes that a healthy mind creates a healthy body. Her book, How to Design Your Mind for Greatness, is part of Williams’ Greatness by Design Empowerment Enterprises. www.greatnessbydesign.com
Also joining the conversation is
Andrea Owen. She is a life coach, blogger of "Live your Ideal Life", and a speaker passionate about empowering women to value their character and access their 3 best selves: self-worth, self-confidence and self-esteem. She is currently hosting workshops sponsored by the Dove Campaign for Real Beauty, helping young girls establish healthy self esteem and to help widen the definition of beauty.

- What is “Total Life Transformation” all about for real women with real weight issues?
- Why do some of us hate the way we look?
- How can we boost our metabolism to increase weight loss?
- How can women come to love the bodies we have on the inside?
