How can I help my 10 year old niece with her body image issues?

by on Jun.14, 2009, under General

Lately she's been saying she needs to go on a diet, etc. She always comments about her thighs..I think she's doing this because me and my sister (her mom) are trying to lose some pounds to get to a healthy weight. Any help is appreciated, thanks

How do you get over a distorted body image?

by on Jun.13, 2009, under General

I have a problem with thinking I look bigger then I really am. I am not over-weight. I am 5′4” and 125 lbs, but when I look at myself in the mirror, I see nothing that I like. I exercise frequently but I still eat pretty much what I want. People always tell me that I look great but I don’t really believe it… I’m not sure how to get over this. PLUS I read a lot of magazines and seeing all those flawless celebrities does NOT help…

Sony and Olympus. How will in-body image stabilization affect long term reliability and camera longevity.?

Any thoughts or theories.

Seems that the mechanical process of moving your sensor is ripe for failure.

How does your body image affect your self-esteem?

Do you think media puts added pressure on women to be thin? Do men and women think about their bodies differently? What do you all think?

How can I gain a better body image?

by on Jun.08, 2009, under General

I feel horrible about my body. I am in shape, am told I am attractive, but I cannot help but worry about being fat or having fat on me. These problems increased dramatically when my boyfriend would always watch porn. I started exercising excessively and restricting my calories so I could look as hot as the girls that turn him on. I'm no longer with him but I constantly think about how I look and that I'm not good enough. I value other people for their personalities and their kindness but I cna't help but think that people are judging me by my looks. Its even hard for me to watch tv because I see so many attractive and skinny girls and I start hating myself and making plans of actions to lose more weight. this has been going on for years now and I want to feel comfortable with myself. What can I do? I don't have health insurance and cant' afford to see a counselor.

Could Americans obsession–or lack of– with body image be considered a social issue?

by on Jun.07, 2009, under General

For example in my english class we have to write a research paper dealing with a social issue. Could obsession of body image such as "obesity" or anorexia be considered a social issue?
