Did You Know?

In a survey of girls 9 and 10 years old, 40% have tried to lose

weight, according to an ongoing study funded by the National

Heart, Lung and Blood Institute.

One study reports that at age thirteen, 53% of American girls are

"unhappy with their bodies." This grows to 78% by the time girls

reach seventeen. (Source: National Institute on Media and the

Family)

According to the Girl Scouts Research Institute, one-third of all girls

have a distorted idea about their weight.

7 in 10 girls believe they are not good enough or do not measure

up in some way including their looks, performance in school and

relationships. (Source: Real Girls, Real Pressure: A National Report

on the State of Self-Esteem )

At any given time, 5 to 10 million women and girls have eating dis-

orders that harm their health, including anorexia nervosa and bu-

limia (The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists )

Nearly three out of four girls (73%) compare how they look to girls

in the media at least sometimes, with three out of ten girls (29%)

comparing their looks either a lot or all the time. (Source: Girl Scout

Research Institute, Girl Survey Panel, N=351, April 2008 )

Among 11 - 13 year old girls, more than 50% believe they are over-

weight. (eatingdisorders411.com)

Frequent music video viewing may be a risk factor for increased

perceived importance of appearance and increased weight con-

cerns among adolescent girls (Borzekowski, Robinson, & Killen,

1999).

Event Overview

Runners and walkers of all ages will gather and rock tutus for the 1st
