Women in their 40s are developing eating disorders because they hate the way they look, according to a magazine survey.

Women over 40 'hate' their bodies

Top Sante magazine interviewed over 2,000 women. Half had either had cosmetic surgery, or said they would consider it. Most of those questioned were unhappy with their bodies, with 58% having disordered eating patterns.

The average women over the age of 40 wants to weigh less than she did at 20 and would like to be 9st 7lb instead of her current weight of 11st 11lb, the survey results showed.

She rates her body as three and a half out of 10, compared with seven out of 10 for the body they had when they were younger, and particularly hates her middle, hips and thighs and the tops of her arms.
