According to a new survey, Aussie women drink too much and are under stress most of the time. It seems that they are so worried about their weight that they avoid mirrors.
An Australian Women’s Weekly survey of 15,000 women found that the ladies in the country are stressed, confused about diet and don’t exercise enough."The worrying evidence is that women are putting their health at risk," News.com.au quoted Deborah Thomas, the magazine’s editorial director, as saying.
The survey found that only one in six women were happy with their weight.
One in five had such a poor body image they avoided mirrors and 45 per cent would have cosmetic surgery if they could afford it.
More than a quarter of the women were confused about what constituted a healthy diet, and 26 per cent failed to eat vegetables every day.
Women weren’t getting enough exercise - only 45 per cent exercised for 30 minutes or more at least three times a week.

Other big fears were losing touch with children and deteriorating health.
The survey also found most women had been depressed at some stage, with one in 10 currently depressed.
