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.

There are something what I do not expect from my body, the first one is that I do not really like about my weight. I think my body is too heavy; my current weight is 83.5kg. That’s why I need and have tried to do some light exercise in order to decrease my body weight. The second thing that I do not like from my body is the lack of stamina. I am easily got tired after a few minute of exercise, and I easily get thirsty after I did exercise. The last thing that I do not like from my body is that there are too many scare on my body especially on my legs and hands that make me not confident enough to wear anything short.
