'I have been fat my whole life. I've noticed that there is a big double standard for girls and guys when it comes to weight. When people see me they automatically think that I should be depressed or that I'm stupid or slow or something. I've actually heard girls say "Gosh I'd kill myself if I was that fat".
'I have been a yo-yo dieter since about the age of 8. I am now 47.'
'I used to always hate how I looked. I was always too fat; couldn't fit into the clothes I liked, couldn't imagine anyone wanting me in them even if I could, etc, etc. And why, oh why couldn't I be nice and skinny like the models?'

'Its wierd. People say that they strive for perfection, but actually, no one knows what it is. Nearly every advert we see has been airbrush, completely fake and a load of rubbish. That isnt perfection, its just a lie.'
'My name is Ashley. I'm now 19. I have been suffering with how I look for the past 8 years. Ever since I was 11, I've wanted to be what I seen on tv.'
'Are models in advertising always portrayed as slim'
