Wearing Spanx By Jamie Santa Cruz Summary

Most people don’t often think that boys go through issues they just say, “Oh they’re just being boys” but, boys do go through problems they are just afraid to show it. Some boys will find activities to do that will make them feel good about themselves. While exercising is such an amazing thing to do so we feel very energetic and healthy, Woman will do anything to cheat there way out of exercising to lose weight, even if it means lowering their life by 5.7 years. Boys will go to the extreme with exercising three to four times a day and take excessive amounts of protein powders and even poising their bodies with steroids.

In, “Body-Image Pressure Increasingly Affects Boys” by Jamie Santa Cruz, he explains the variety of reasons why we don’t

The author of, “One Man Explains Why He Swears by Wearing Spanx” by Kevin Fanning explains to us, why using spanx made him feel good about himself, he notices that the spanx tucked in the fat rolls into the right places to make him look great. My love spanx is huge it’s the best thing has ever happened to me ever since I was about thirteen years old I’ve been wearing them to make my self esteem go up. Fanning explains, “I have been at war with my body since the fifth grade, when I overheard two girls in my class talking about how fat I was. I was like: wait, I’m fat??? I was immediately overcome with self-consciousness about my appearance.” (Fanning 217) Sometimes it isn’t a good thing we let stuff like that get to us, because then we start asking our self a lot of questions to bring our self esteem go down. We can change our body by working out hard and dieting but those hurtful words you hear coming out of someone else’s mouth will stick in our minds forever. Fanning says, “You can diet and exercise to address physical things to varying degrees, but how do you fix the mental thing? That was the problem.” (217) Back to the spanx, it feels and looks amazing on our body’s but, putting it on takes a lot of work got to be able to suck everything in at once and bam slide it right over our fat body’s. I keep referring our bodies as fat bodies because that is what we are and just trying to hide it with spanx isn’t going to make it disappear well I mean only for a couple of hours. You get the point. “You fold one arm up through and then just kind of stand there and breathe for a few minutes, committed now, realizing that the only way out is through. You bend your other arms back and up behind your head and then the shirt is around your shoulders.
