But her 80 pounds of weight loss while taking Wegovy has not come without challenges of its own, she said. But she warns that losing weight is not a cure for everything that’s not right in your life. Many people try to lose weight hoping to feel better about their body, only to find that they still don’t once they have lost the weight, Conason said. Conason recommends separating your efforts to improve your body image from any efforts you might take on to lose weight. Since her weight loss, Olivares has found that many of her social interactions begin with a comment about her body.

The faces that hold social currency on social media — with fox-lift brows and buccal fat removed — are increasingly bleeding into real life. AdvertisementEven before the remote-work boom, writers noticed social media was shaping the way people looked. The shift from surgical procedures to minimally invasive injections has also made cosmetic work safer and more available to average people. "The gap between the identity we present on social media and the self we see in the mirror is growing," Widdows told me. As more people get cosmetic work done, the rest of us lose touch with what's normal.

“What we learned doing this project is that a lot of people are not represented in breast cancer media. Although the incidence rate of breast cancer is 4% lower among Black women than White women, Black women are 41% more likely to die from the disease, according to the American Cancer Society. Breast cancer is less common among Asian women than in other ethnic or racial groups, but the disease is the most commonly diagnosed cancer.

Overwhelming evidence suggests social media has a negative impact on self-esteem. That's not only true for how people feel about their appearance and social status but also their financial wellbeing and economic standing. "Money dysmorphia is kind of like today's version of keeping up with the Joneses," said Courtney Alev, consumer financial advocate at Credit Karma. Not surprisingly, money dysmorphia is even more prevalent among younger generations, according to Credit Karma. Many of those who experience money dysmorphia have above-average savings, Credit Karma also found.

Here's what Trump's proposed tariffs could mean for your wallet
  + stars: | 2024-03-13 | by ( Kate Dore | Cfp | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +1 min
As President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump secure enough delegates to clinch their party nominations, policy experts are weighing how proposed tariffs could affect American consumers. While the Trump campaign hasn't released many tax policy specifics, he has renewed his support for tariffs, which are taxes levied on imported goods from another country. "I'm a big believer in tariffs," Trump said Monday on CNBC's "Squawk Box," suggesting that he's likely to reinstitute duties if elected for a second term. The Biden administration has maintained some of those tariffs. "Here's an area where the candidates are actually pretty similar — first what Trump imposed and then what Biden maintained," said Erica York, a senior economist and research manager with the Tax Foundation's Center for Federal Tax Policy.

New York CNN —Social media companies are soaking up the billions in advertising dollars that once flowed to legacy media companies — a trend that continues to accelerate despite an ever-growing mountain of evidence indicating the Silicon Valley titans govern their ballooning kingdoms with little regard for how their products negatively impact society. Time and time again, companies like Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, Snapchat and others have been caught allowing harmful content to exist on their platforms. The committee heard testimony from the heads of the largest tech firms on the dangers of child sexual exploitation on social media. To be fair, brands would likely prefer to advertise on the platforms of responsible media actors versus the risky world of social media. But Big Tech offers these brands much more effective targeting, while boasting a larger and younger audience than legacy news organizations.

Our generation came of age during the ’90s toxic diet culture. Millennials weren’t taught to fear aging; we were taught to fear fat. And if you had a mother who internalized diet culture and projected it onto her children, the damage could also happen from within the family. Researchers have found that mothers who encourage weight loss or food restriction or even express dissatisfaction with their body weight may lead to their daughters’ becoming more likely to have eating-related problems. As my generation grew up and became more conscious of the impacts of diet culture, we began to openly celebrate and encourage body positivity.

They follow the money, putting paychecks above career steps that were once viewed as aspirational, like management positions or promotions. A job is just a job to Gen Z, who feel like the juice of career progression is not worth the squeeze. "So you just got to be really, really careful with the content you're consuming and the people that you're trusting."

Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta, attends a U.S. Senate bipartisan Artificial Intelligence Insight Forum at the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C., Sept. 13, 2023. Meta said Tuesday it will limit the type of content that teenagers on Facebook and Instagram are able to see, as the company faces mounting claims that its products are addictive and harmful to the mental well-being of younger users. In a blog post, Meta said the new protections are designed "to give teens more age-appropriate experiences on our apps." Similar complaints have dogged the company since 2021, before it changed its name from Facebook to Meta. Haugen later testified to a Senate panel that Facebook consistently puts its own profits over users' health and safety, largely due to algorithms that steered users toward high-engagement posts.

A bipartisan group of 42 attorneys general is suing Meta over addictive features aimed at kids and teens, the AGs announced Tuesday. The support from so many state AGs of different political backgrounds indicates a significant legal challenge to Meta's business. Besides New York, the states that filed the federal suit include California, Colorado, Louisiana, Nebraska, South Carolina, Washington and Wisconsin.

Iiu Susiraja: She Has Issues? No, You Have Issues

The strange, discomfiting photographs and videos of the Finnish artist Iiu Susiraja push so many buttons that her provocative exhibition at MoMA PS1 should have been staged in an elevator — to paraphrase the theater critic Peter Marks. Ambiguously titled “Iiu Susiraja: A Style Called a Dead Fish,” the show features 49 photographs and 13 short videos dating from 2008 to 2022. Like most artists whose work matters, Susiraja has no shame. Born in 1975 in Turku, Finland, where she still lives, Susiraja (pronounced ee-you susi-rah-yah) started out as a textile designer. Easy resolution of their meanings is impossible, which creates a rich internal narrative in the viewer, often starting with one’s feelings about one’s own body.

Body dysmorphia: Definition, symptoms and treatments
  + stars: | 2023-05-26 | by ( Kristen Rogers | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +9 min
Here’s what living with body dysmorphia is like, and how people can find help. What causes body dysmorphiaThere isn’t a sole cause of body dysmorphia, but there are some contributing factors. “Body dysmorphia is in the same family of disorders as obsessive-compulsive disorder,” Durvasula said. Body dysmorphia was originally described as “the imagined ugliness syndrome,” Kearney-Cooke said. Since body dysmorphia is in the same category as obsessive-compulsive disorder, treatments for OCD, such as “exposure and response prevention,” could also be helpful for managing body dysmorphia.
The report, released Tuesday, calls attention to growing concerns about the effects of social media use on children and adolescent's mental health. The advisory urges policymakers and the companies that make the social media platforms to share with parents the burden of managing children's and adolescents' social media use. About a third say they're scrolling, posting or otherwise engaged with social media "almost constantly." The surgeon general's report also blamed social media for perpetuating eating disorders, body dysmorphia and low self-esteem. Twenge said social media can affect mental health in a variety of ways.
