Bad body image - How do you change it?

Question

Hi

I want to know how you can change the image that you have of your body. I have a body mass index of 21 (UK size 8) and am toned due to taking regular exercise. Yet I don't see that when I look in the mirror. Do other young women feel like this?

What can you do to see yourself as other people see you?

Answer 1

Size 8 is great if you are meant to be that size. I am also size 8 but have always been so. If you have been a 12 or 14 in the past and have slimmed down and you still feel overweight, then you have a serious problem and you need to get help immediately.
Btw i am 45 and keep myself in good shape with regulr meals and moderate exercise. Please learn to accept the other qualities that you have and make the most of yourelf.
Good luckx

God how i wish i was a trim size 8! Count your blessings! But seriously, if you look in the mirror and you don't see a trim size 8 you need to look at your self esteem.Learn to like yourself for what and what size you happen to be. I think that is is the answer to your problem.

Answer 3

Hey love :) Wow you're really pretty. I think you look around 17 or 18 haha. Um.....you just have to eat well and continue to excersie. Don't go overboard if you've just had an eating disorder. I think you're fine tho hah Hope I helped xox Jenna <3
