Abstract:
More than half of girls and women treat themselves as obese persons. It is connected with the ideal of slimness, predominating in our culture. The consequences of this cult of slimness involve more and more frequent disturbances in nutrition. Problems, which are the basis for obesity, anorexia and bulimia cannot be related merely to nutrition, weight and body size issues. They are indissolubly connected with low self-esteem, difficulties in one's identity as well as with a lack of interpersonal relation satisfactions. The presented project's aim is prophylaxis concerning nutrition disturbances. It is addressed to girls at the age of 14 and 15. According to the project, classes are organized for the 1st and 2nd year students of secondary schools. The program includes eight meetings devoted to the questions which are significant elements of creating positive image of self-image, a feeling of one's identity as well as developing abilities to make independent opinions and decisions. These factors may prevent girls from following trends e.g. connected with the cult of slimness.
