I Need You To Know That We'll Be Okay

Photoshop is one of my favourite applications. In fact, I think it is my favourite. I would crumple to pieces without it. However, recently I found something quite frightening that you can do with Photoshop. Something that all the magazines do to make the celebrities pretty. Something the gossip columns use to make their gossip worth while. Want to know what I found? I found out how to make you skinny. As in, really skinny. Anorexic skinny.

I edited a photo of mine that I took a while ago. Please bear in mind that I don't actually want to look like the edited image. I'm just proving a point over how much images can be edited to make you believe in something that isn't real. You ready? Okay, let's go:

Now, if you think this look healthym you need your eyes checked. It's frighteningly thin. Fair enough if you are naturally thin but when you force yourself to be thin, that's not nice.

Scary stuff, huh?
