Feeling: distraught
You should get out more Christine, you have a mediocre body image!
You definitely don't view your body as a temple. It fact, it looks like you're prone to pick yourself apart. Fortunately, you don't take those "lose 10 pounds in 10 minutes" diets to heart, and you are able to keep some of the ultra-slim media hype in perspective! However, it sounds like your body confidence is suffering a little bit. It's extremely difficult to avoid the super-slim ideal and it is inevitable that some of it seeps in. You haven't, however, completely fallen victim to the body trap. Sometimes you let yourself have your cake and eat it too -- but most of the time you opt out for fear of lumps and dimples. You might be a little too hard on yourself. Do you sometimes feel as if you're looking in a fairground mirror? Do you absolutely dread bikini season? If so, you might have a bit of a warped body image. It's natural for a woman to be self-critical sometimes, and it's not vain to want to look your best. As long as you keep the criticisms in perspective. So, what's the lesson here? Go easy on yourself. View your body as a work of art -- put it on a pedestal and admire it!
