In a new study, 51% of Facebook users feel more self conscious
about their weight after seeing pictures of themselves on there. The amount of
time spent on Facebook allows users to continuously see these pictures that
trigger body issues and low self esteem. 37% of people studied said they felt
the need to change specific parts of their body after seeing themselves
compared to their friends. This can lead to spending more time focusing on the
negative and creating obsessions about weight. The study sampled 600 American
facebook users between ages 16 and 40. http://articles.nydailynews.com/2012-04-01/news/31271545_1_facebook-photos-body-image-health-in-real-life
