You should be pissed off and have every right to be.
Societal pressures are ridiculously powerful, and they have the worse effects on people. The fashion industry has created body image and how we are to be judge, and that is always physical appearance and a certain body image. Hell I suffer from them to, and have had the media infect my perceptions. Can you believe that I actually think I am fat? And the thing is I know better, but still believe. You can kick me if you like, I know I am dumb.
But good on you, don't let them brainwash you too, stand up and be proud :)
