Your Body Image

<p>How do you view yourself physically? Does it affect your academic performance? How do you think it will impact your college experience?</p>

<p>Not in a positive way. It doesn’t affect my academic life though.</p>

<p>I have low self-esteem but it’s not because of my looks. I’m not good looking, but I don’t really care. Most people aren’t.</p>

<p>I don’t view it negatively there’s always room for improvement I used to be 40lbs heavier and I now actively work out to maintain my figure and eat right of course however when I was heavier I got better grades which is odd maybe because all I had going for me at the time was school? As far as its impact on college life/ performance I think I’ll be more aware of avoidance of the freshmen 15 (and not to say that beautiful people are vain but I think for me anyways having been insecure about my weight I have a bit of ugly duckling complex so not really judgmental etc. but neither are many confident people )</p>

<p>I’m decently satisfied. I’ve been getting thinner (not through anything on my part, it’s just been happening.) I was never fat but for 8th and 9th grade I was stockier than I’d been before, now I’m returning to my previous state. I’m tall so that adds some confidence (but also takes some away since feel like my height can partially account for my un coordination.) overall I feel pretty good about my body, but I’d like to be in better shape.</p>

<p>I also am very tall 5’9 and I too experience coordination problems (there’s always those you should play basketball or volleyball comments or when people come up to you and go “your tall” like no duh lol)</p>

<p>I have disordered eating habits and an unstable body image. It does affect me academically sometimes, especially when my eating habits are out of whack or I’m feeling the effects or I can’t focus because I’m so preoccupied with other thoughts.</p>

<p>Lol I feel a little short sometime. Like at least fifty percent of my fellow class is taller than me. I’m not necessary short though. But no I look above average though but I don’t feel like it have a big deal on my grades. Though I feel if I get 30 pounds fatter than I will become slower.</p>

<p>I’m very short too, but actually short. 5’0.</p>

<p>^ Jazzii takes the cake, though, awkward. She’s shorter than 5’0". </p>

<p>…but then again I don’t know if you’re a guy or a girl…</p>

<p>Oh wow, that is pretty short. I’m a girl.</p>

<p>I’m a bit overweight, but I have committed to improving my weight, fitness, and nutrition. In these past few months, I haven’t really had time to focus on these things, but second semester will be a good opportunity to work on it. :)</p>

<p>Fitness is really important to me. I made a huge transition last year to be healthier and it truly has improved my life. Eating organic foods and working out everyday keeps me focused and makes me feel better overall; in that respect it does affect my academic performance. It also helped me overcome severe depression. It’s remarkable what treating your body well can do for you.</p>

<p>Not to be that guy…but…organic isnt always better</p>

<p>…k bye.</p>

<p>I actually agree^ it’s not really proven to be better…</p>

<p>I’ve got a six pack…</p>

<p>I am very sensitive about my face, which I think is rather awkward and unappealing. In my mind, I am strong and ambitious but my face looks… soft and chubby. Bothers me to no end. I wouldn’t say it affects my grades though. Perhaps my social life at school.</p>

<p>I’ve got an eight pack…</p>

<p>It affects me a lot, I hate it really. My goal is to become more responsible for my health NOW, so when I go to college next fall I don’t turn into a complete fatty. I’ve gained so much weight like, it’s ridiculous. It’s hard to be healthy while studying 24/7.</p>

<p>My six pal hadit’s own four pack</p>
