Gaining a better body image seems to be a world-wide desire. With constant exposure to negative media messages and celebrity diets, it’s easy for us to see ourselves in a harmful light, resulting in lower self-esteem and depressed body image. Glamour magazine reported that 97% or women will have an “I hate my body” moment. How scary is that?
It’s frightening to think of everything that has contributed to this statistic. It feels like a daunting task to try and battle this, but have no fear – there are ways we can give ourselves a better body image. Glamour magazine wants to help – and we should let them!
