this
 problem. One main issue women are facing today while applying for some type of jobs is discrimination.

 often makes it very difficult for other women who do not have an ideal

 to get selected in these kinds of jobs. To solve
this
 problem, producers should choose the ladies based on their skills rather than their figure. People are usually more interested to see a talented woman than

 with no talent. Another concern is that some women get so obsessed to achieve the ideal
weight
 that they adopt unhealthy practices without thinking about its consequences. These women get pressurized and they start using either

However

depriving
 themselves from essential nutrients, they are in fact, causing inevitable problems for their
body
. Governments with the help of the media ought to promote the importance of both healthy mind and fit

. If women understood that being fit is by far more important than becoming thin, they would implement natural and safe methods to make themselves fit. In conclusion, promoting a thin
body
 as ideal for women has resulted in various problems. Only when typical employers prefer skills over looks and governments promote healthy lifestyles, will these issues be resolved.
