Body Image

Do you have a positive or negative body image? If you say negative, you are definitely not alone. Everyone has a personal opinion of what a perfect body should look like. We tend to create a distorted representation of perfection that can affect the way we feel about ourselves and others. The majority of people are dissatisfied with their bodies. Our culture is under a lot of pressure to measure up to a certain view of beauty that can lead to a negative body image. Developing a positive body image is crucial to a healthy lifestyle. One study found that 63% of female participants identified weight as the key factor in determining how they felt about themselves.
