Body Image

What you see when you look at yourself is your body image. Everyone see them selves differently. What others around you see when they look at you is different from what you see. Someone could look at you and see a beautiful, skinny, confident person. You may see yourself as the opposite. Your body image reflects off of your confidence.

Most people base their self image off of what others tell them. If you call a person who is skinny, fat, you can really harm their self image. They may take your words hard and develop an eating disorder. The more criticism a person gets on their body the lower their self esteem goes. You never know what is going on in a person’s personal life. You never picture yourself as you really are, you picture the words you are called.            

Just because you are not flawless, does not mean you aren’t beautiful. Everyone should view their selves as physically beautiful. Society says if you are not a size double zero you are automatically ugly. There is no truth in society’s opinion. Every single person is beautiful. Whether you are a double zero or a size 24 it doesn’t matter.

When you look at your self in a mirror what do you see? Do you see the flaws picked out by society, or do you see all the things that make you beautiful? In truth is majority of people see what society wants them to be and not what they are. This doesn’t matter where you live or who your family is. The reality is your body image is distorted whether you know it or not.

You were born with flaws. You were born with these flaws because no one is meant to be perfect. If you are perfect then your name is probably Barbie and you are plastic. Start looking at your flaws as beauty marks. Each flaw makes you who you are, and represent how you are different from everyone else.

In a world that tries it hardest to make you feel ugly, stand up and prove to everyone you are beautiful. Show them that you are beautiful how you are. Show them how you are beautiful with out there opinions. When you show your confidence not only do you show your outer beauty, you show your inner beauty.
