When you look at the mirror, what do you see? do you like what you see? Woman are constantly bombarded with Barbie like doll images. We all want to look best. Woman are under pressure to measure up to a certain social and cultural ideal of beauty, which can lead to poor body image. presenting an ideal difficult to achieve and maintain, the cosmetic and diet product industries are assured of growth and profits. It's no accident that youth is increasingly promoted, along with thinness, as an essential criterion of beauty. If not all women need to lose weight, for sure they're all aging which is a disaster sure to happen just ask any middle age anchorwoman or model if you can find one. Pressures can come from people around us, family, friends. they influence your body image with positive and negative comments. A doctor's health advice can be misinterpreted and affect how a woman perceives and feels about her body. Just remember this, building a healthy lifestyle that includes a healthy diet and exercises is important to improve body image. We all want to have a wonderful or gorgeous body, but what the important is a healthy body. healthy body is not always linked to appearance. In fact, healthy bodies come in all shapes and sizes! Developing and nurturing a positive body image and a healthy mental attitude is crucial to a woman's happiness and wellness. Change your body image not your body, change the way you think about your body. eating a healthy foods, exercise regularly and a lot of rest are essentials to developing a healthy image. eating a lot of healthy or nutritious foods can promote a healthy skin and hair, along strong bones, exercise has been shown to increase self-esteem. self image, and energy and plenty of rest is the key to stress managements, all of these can make up you feel good about your body

I am very critical of myself - I don't like the way I look - I really would like to lose some weight!
