  About The Extreme Measures Campaign  
In the era of reality programs such as Extreme Makeover, I Want a Famous Face, and The Swan, the strain on women to look their best has never been greater.

The Extreme Measures Campaign is a body image campaign led by young women on college campuses that addresses the extreme pressures women face to look perfect.

The Campaign includes the Extreme Measures Speaking Tour, where young women visit campuses across the country to talk about how they almost died to look good.

Our goal with this campaign is to increase awareness of the fact that many young women struggle with their feelings about their bodies, and to present healthy alternatives to eating disorders and risky cosmetic surgery.

  
   
 
     
  On Tour with Our Organization  
  Need face time? Beginning in the spring of 2005, the Extreme Measures Campaign might be on campus near you.

The Extreme Measures Campus Tour is visiting campuses across the country to heighten awareness about the tricks we sometimes see in the mirror. The tour features two college-aged women, an eating disorder survivor and a cosmetic surgery disaster survivor, who will talk about the whole picture – including their experiences with body image issues, obsessions with the scale, going under the knife, hidden health care costs, getting sick, and getting better.
