Due to a distorted sense of body image,
you may be thinking that you need to:

• Hide your body with baggy clothes 

• Excessively exercise to control your weight and your body shape

• Spend time looking at yourself in the mirror to see if you have lost or gained weight

• Criticize yourself for not being good enough

• Hide yourself under towels at the beach, pillows on the couch or blankets in your bedroom
   

We consciously and unconsciously compare ourselves to the “perfect” images of people we see on TV, instagram and movies. You already know that the media shows unrealistic images, but you can’t help but compare yourself to an impossible standard. This only serves to continue the negative perception of body types and images.

Overcoming a negative self perception and poor body image can seem like a daunting and impossible task. But unfortunately, being overly critical of oneself over long periods of time can lead to deeply ingrained thoughts, behaviours and actions that can be very difficult to let go of.

Imagine a world where instead of obsessing about the things you hate about yourselves, you were obsessed with the things you love about yourself!
