What do YOU think of when you hear body image? Are you thinking about
yourself right now? Or are you thinking about some ideal body in your
mind? Now let me ask you this, what do you think of your self-esteem? Would you
rate it high or low? Well, let me tell you something; these two go
hand-in-hand. The better you perceive your body, the higher self-esteem
you'll have. Self-esteem is the confidence and satisfaction that we have
in ourselves. Women, especially young women like us, struggle with body
image and self-esteem on a daily basis.
And when we think of body image, we involuntary think of that ideal body
and say "oh! I have to look like that." We even think that our worst is based
only on our appearance. The truth is that we all come in different shapes
and sizes, and that we ARE Beautiful! Beauty is only skin deep. You may
feel that you're going through all these struggles ALONE, but you're not!
There are millions of women in the world that suffers the same problems as
you.
This blog was made to not only bring awareness to these issues, but to also
give women that face problems with their body image, an outlet-- to
express themselves: to share their stories and to even ask/answer
questions.
If you have something [anything!] that you feel you want to share, whether
it be stories about your own battles with self-esteem and body images, or
an interesting article related to the topic, pictures, poems, or even song
lyrics, anything that you found interesting, simply email your words to:
beautybodyandsoul@yahoo.com with your age and/or your name,
if you feel comfortable.
Be open and honest. Don't be afraid to express yourself and remember,
You're not Alone.
