Your Body Image

<p>Glad to see other health conscious teens all of my friends eat like horses and are so fit.</p>

<p>I’m a skinny twig. I’m totally fine with it, and I don’t really view my body image positively or negatively.</p>

<p>I agree with the above post. ^^^
I’m skinny, too, and always have been. Since college started, I gained like…two or three pounds. But its not fat, it’s muscle weight. My legs have become noticeably stronger in my view. I do see myself positively to a small extent but I’m no where near arrogant. But I have good self esteem and academics are completely separate.</p>

<p>I really don’t have problems with my looks, I usually do go out of my way to dress nicely and where good stuff and I guess it does make me feel better. Although what does bother my is Acne, my acne is pretty bad. Sometimes I feel bad about it but it’s a process I’ll have to get through.</p>

<p>I’m not really health conscious but I just don’t eat that much. I get full easily. Every girl I’ve ever been to restaurant with has eaten more than me.</p>

<p>As of right now, I’m a little out of shape (give me a break, off season from track for me), but come February I’ll be in shape again.</p>

<p>Not self-conscious of myself.</p>

<p>I’ve finally passed the threshold of being underweight to the lowest tick of normal for those 6’2’’. Was 6 foot and 115 lbs four years ago and now am two inches taller and 27 pounds heavier. Still am working for heavier, but only subconsciously at this point.</p>

<p>@niquii me jazzi?!! Yes I do take the cake! 4’11 and a half. BAM LOL.<br>
But seriously I flip flop. I love my height, it took me a get long time to not be bothered by my height, but that came along with being teased because I was the smallest kid in the class until the 8th grade when I met people just as small. I also found a lot of great things I love about being small like Im never to tall for ANY guy. (Only time I’m bothered is when I don’t reach something, but that’s what furniture is for!) </p>

<p>But like I said my body image flip flops- like I will NOT wear leggings outside of my house despite the number of people who have told me I look ok. I like my body shape, and when I like the way I look in something I LOVE the way I look, I’m all “I look hot, holy crap” but those other days im like ew…</p>

<p>Strange I’m sort of a flip flopper but it more depend on my clothes and what I ate yesterday. And last time I have fully visible abs I had an 8 pack</p>

<p>Pretty satisfied. All I want is my almost-flat stomach back (I got one during the summer from walking miles around Wesleyan’s campus every day for 5 weeks… it was crazy. Who knew exercise is actually helpful).</p>

<p>^ haha :-)</p>

<p>Ehh, I think I’m content with my physical self… Lost a lot of weight since the beginning of high school so I’m happier now, I mean I think I’m attractive :smiley: I guess it helps my confidence and makes me think I can succeed…</p>

<p>I’m a 5’4 male and it really just gets to me sometimes! It’s hard to be an upperclassmen when most of the lowerclassmen are taller than you!</p>

<p>Meh. Im generally fine but sometimes eat junk when I get stressed or don’t eat anything at all. However, due to some discussions in Bio, I’m citing down the amount of fructose and sugar I consume and eating more fiber + fruits + vegetables. I occasionally had white grains in noodles but now I’m cutting those out and going all while wheat I also try to excercise for at least .5 hour (not including walking or running for normal tasks). On weekends, I try for 1 hour plus. Also, I’m attempting to reduce my screen time of any form, especially of its not for school.</p>

<p>I constantly look tired and try to avoid looking into the mirror more than I have to; if I stay too long, I start scrutinizing every flaw. When junior year ends, I plan on sleeping for a few days straight.</p>

<p>I eat like 4000 calories a day but i lift and play basketball. high schools sports, if anything, keep you in shape.</p>

<p>I’m awesome.</p>

<p>I eat chocolate when I want and I run when I feel like it. I’m perfectly normal sized, BMI and such to prove it. I don’t care, not really. I’d take a chocolate bar over a fit stomach any day. I’m active I eat full meals. I’m happy. I don’t really know if I’m happy in an attractive way but ehh.
I’m not a twig but its all good.
I did that exercise thing for a while; But really do you look at someone (a girl especially) in the winter and think ‘Hmm she could lose a pound or two’ in the most literal sense of one or two. I mean all of the power to you if you are the super fit bloke/lass. I’m not; But you certainly should be, I’ll have some thin mints for the both of us.</p>

<p>I’m actually really surprised at my body shape. I eat rice every single day (cuz I’m Asian :)) which is way more white carbs than I’m supposed to take in. I’m pretty short and small, 5’1. It’s surprisingly helpful in high school sports since my competitors think I’m some sort of weakling that’s going to get blown over by the wind even though I’m not. </p>

<p>Academics and fitness don’t mix for me. Well actually they do. Sort of. I’ll occasionally lift dumb bells while studying. Or I’ll do a couple pull ups while studying.</p>

<p>I’m content; I’m fortunate to have a pretty naturally thin, fit body type. I’m relatively health conscious because I’m a vegetarian and I exercise regularly because I play soccer, but I don’t worry obsessively about what I eat. I don’t believe in excessive self denial or anything, but you know, if I’ve gotten like two milkshakes within the past week, I might be like “okay, maybe I shouldn’t go for a third…” I generally tend not to eat too much, though. I have a habit of forgetting to eat, and I just have a pretty small appetite. My BMI is almost underweight, but it’s not on purpose or anything. I honestly never really ever reflected on my body image too much, until recently a lot of people would call me skinny. It’s irrelevant to me; I think it’s weird when people obsess over it.</p>

<p>I’m usually pretty satisfied. I’m also tall (5’9). I’d actually be taller if I didn’t drink so much coffee, and my entire family is super-tall (my grandmother is 5’11). Scandinavian genes for you.</p>

<p>When I was younger I was really unhappy with my looks, but I’m happy with my body now. I don’t really obsess over my looks like some people do.</p>
