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.

At this time my weight is 89kg, which feel I should already concern about it and try to reduce it to 65 to 70 kg for my own good. My height is 179cm and to be honest I don’t really like it. Among my friends I look a bit shorter and small. There is much difference between me and my friends. I feel shy when standing beside them. I really want to grow taller and loss my weight so that I don’t have to feel anything and be proud of my self.
