POPSBeauty & Image: The Reality This collage depicts the fact that society has imposed the perception that beauty and image is important for women. However, just like Oprah's belief, there are good and bad ways to reach the ideal body. For instance, Jean Kilbourne in "The More You Subtract, The More You Add", agrees with Oprah that the images that society portrays of beauty has a negative impact on some women. Kilbourne states,"Thus many girls spend enormous amounts of time and energy attempting to achieve something that is not only trivial but also completely unattainable" (Kilbourne 260). There are incorrect manners of reaching the desired body, as depicted on the right side, which include dangerous diet products and eating disorders. Oprah promotes the use of healthy dieting and exercise on her show; therefore, she also follows the idea that being skinny and "perfect" is not necessary to live a good life.

POPSWhat Going to the Gym Can't Fix After Baby I not suggesting surgery at all. I just want things made realistic, that not all areas are fixable. Many women strive to be what they were before and are never happy. We must learn to love our changing selves. If you can't fit into clothes and it bothers you...go for the surgery. There should be no judgment on women one way or other! We can be hard enough on are selves already.

POPS "Large Fella" Bikes Back to Life 50 pounds in the first four months – and they kept on coming off. He'll be quick to point out that he wasn't “dieting”; he was changing his life. Permanently. He and his family left the east coast for Minneapolis, largely for its reputation as a cycling haven. Thus far Cutshall has dropped to about 230 pounds; he estimates that he'll plateau around 180 but says, “"It's not about a goal weight," he said. "I'm just doing what's healthy for my body, and the results will follow."

POPSBirds and bees acting up with climate change
Due to space, I have only included a few examples, but there are more details of changes throughout the world on the page. It seems ironic that we can be prepared to cast blame, while ignoring the problem. Nature will not be ignored. I remember an old Japanese saying "Do not look for blame. Look for solution." Then of course there was King Canute. Despite his authority over people the tide continued to rise. The worst thing we can do is give up. We can't argue with the elements, much less change them. We have to change our behavior. Reminds me of dieting. It is not a short term thing. For dieting to be successful, it has to be a permanent change in eating habits. Very soon, with the correct diet, the improvement in health can make us wonder why we ever ate incorrectly in the first place. Also similar to things like stopping smoking, or drinking Alcohol. They only seem hard until you become determined to stop. Then it's not long before the benefits become clear.
