Background

Body image involves our perception, imagination, emotions, and physical sensations of and about our bodies. It s not static- but ever changing; sensitive to changes in mood, environment, and physical experience. It is not based on fact. It is psychological in nature, and much more influenced by self-esteem than by actual physical attractiveness as judged by others. It is not inborn, but learned. This learning occurs in the family and among peers, but these only reinforce what is learned and expected culturally.The Body Image Forum simply asks “when you look in the mirror, what do you see?” Do you embrace your physical appearance, or yearn for change? Do you accept your physical differences or take extreme measures in an attempt to change your body? How far are you willing to go to feel better about yourself? Are you happy? Be honest. Be open. Express yourself without fear of judgment. Through your words and shared thoughts, this forum will take an unflinching look at how our students perceive their bodies, allow individuals an opportunity to reveal their perceptions of their own self-image and explain how far some are willing to go to fit in.

As we know, healthy body image is quite important for anyone. Before I narrate my body image, I would like to thank to god which bestow me a body that I satisfied. I always use an optimistic mind to view my body image although I am not a perfectly healthy person so far. I am very clear how my body image is. Sometimes I am quite happy because the overweight is happened to me. As I know some people always pursue a nice body shape nowadays. They buy and eat a lot of medicines to slim down their body. Is it a good way to become a healthy person? I definitely not agree because that is not guaranteed that we can slim down successfully. Some failure will cause a person become more negative and hopeless. For me, I will eat nutritious foods every day and do proper exercises frequently. So to speak “say is easier than do “. Therefore, we have to do it with strong determination regardless of how many times we failed. Overweigh is not an incurable disease. We definitely can conquer it if we want. For my experiences, physical appearance is not a main problem to have a good relationship with others. It is depends on how someone look at itself. Sometimes woman is more focus on other’s personality than their physical appearance. Guys also have a same view as woman. It doesn’t matter how other look like, as long as he or she is kind and possess a good personality. Thus, we do no need to mind how our body look like. Person who is confident, positive and kind is more attractive than who is charming but bad personality. In conclusion, a positive body image is really important to everyone. Happy can lead a person to go further. It is one of process to become a healthy person as well. I hope that people can make it and enjoy what I want to share.
