I consider that people, who are concerned about their weight or body image, do it because of two reasons. First, some people get aware of their body image as a result of personal health. It's well known that a good health means to take care also of the image but not externally, but biologically. Another reason, and by the way, the most obvious, is that, they have a special ideal or dream that is relates with the influence of external factors, principally, the society since 18th century.
The positive effects of that process are that, exercises and sports, or corporal activities have been practicing in the last years. As a consequence, people feel that their organism works better. Exercising can result in a positive personality and a good humor. The brain also gets cleaner. Another positive effect is that good health habits are taking in many families and, that can result in a healthier society.
One of too many negative effects of the process mentioned, is that people can feel depress as a result of pressure for looking better. Law self-esteem is one of the results of the problem. As a consequence, people get into surgeries that might costs more than only money. Also, the naturalization of worries about people appearance can cause that in the future, people change big spaces of their bodies without questioning about their health or most dramatically, without criticizing that situation.
In my personal opinion, even if everybody is free to choose the way of living; we can't deny the fact that stereotypes and trends are just a few ways to implant a way of thinking that benefits, in a big percent, only a specific industry; and the fact that we have already accustumed to that situation, and we haven't notice it.
