body image.wikipedia says: body image is a term which may refer to a person's perception of his or her own physical appearance or the interpretation of the body by the brain. body image can be described as how individuals see themselves when looking in a mirror, or when picturing themselves in their mind, and their ideas about their body, such as height, shape, and weight and age.
but it's so much more than that. the fact that we look in the mirror and judge ourselves on that is completely ridiculous. we see something we don't like, and the negative thoughts begin. the negative thoughts are such a bad influence, and instead of doing something about this thing we don't perceive as 'good body image', we wallow in our own self-pity, saying that we are 'ugly' or 'fat', when really, someone else secretly wants to be us.
body image is one thing, but what a bad perception of our own body image can turn into is really frightening.
and yes, some people may actually do something about their body image - but is this always a good thing? in fact, sometimes if we try to change we are judged for doing so.
why has modern society made it so difficult to accept ourselves for who we are?
when did this happen?
when did what we look like become such a big issue?
shouldn't it be what's inside that matters?
so, the real question remains to be:
who do you see yourself as?
