Starling Fitness: Daily writings on Fitness, Diet, and Health

Kudos to MotiveWeight for posting a link to this TED Talk. It’s a talk called Image Is Powerful from supermodel Cameron Russell.

You can just hear in her voice how scared she is to tell the true story of being a model.

If you ever think, ‘If I had thinner thighs and shinier hair, wouldn’t I be happier,” you just need to meet a group of models. They have the thinnest thighs and the shiniest hair and the coolest clothes and they are the most physically insecure women, probably, on the planet.

If there is a take-away to this talk, I hope it’s that we all feel more comfortable acknowledging the power of image in our perceived successes and our perceived failures.

This is a wonderful talk explaining the strange world we call fashion and modeling.
