A great many are, but there are some of us that aren't. It's TV, magazines, and all the ads out there brain-washing the younger generation into believing they aren't the best looking and if they get surgery or go on fad diets then all their problems will be solved. That's because they want to make money! We should all work on our inner selves first. I'm a fairly good artist and I have talked to other artist friends and we all agree that we don't like perfection because there is no such thing. I love it when I see someone with perhaps a small gap between their teeth, or a cute turned-up nose on a young girl or guy, or even a slight crook to a man's nose as I think it makes them look more like the outdoor kind of guy. You can have the best looks in the world, but if you aren't happy within yourself you will never truly believe you are beautiful or handsome. I do believe that we should all strive for being healthy, looking after ourselves and put our best foot forward into the world. We can work-out, get exercise in other ways, eat well, drink lots of water, and for women make-up can do wonderful things now to cover blotches on the face, scars, or making a large nose look smaller or small eyes look larger.

Why do men and women struggle with body image?
The basic reason is that they are unhappy about how they look. Their are very few people who are not affected by this. Body image problems are not helped by the media hyping certain looks and features they define as beautiful or attractive. It is unfortunate that their is such pressure to look a certain way in order to be attractive. This effects people of any age, race, gender etc.. People focus on one or several parts of their body and fixate on that. They make these assumptions about their own bodies that are not true. This does not mean that the emotional pain of not being perfectly beautiful or attractive is not real. It is just that it is undeserved. This body image problem can lead to body image shame. This is where the individual has a distorted view of their body, that does not fit reality. This is my own personal opinion I feel that body image shame can contribute to eating disorders, fixation on plastic surgery in order to become perfect. Excessive working out and steroid use to become perfectly masculine. I have dealt with this unpleasant issue for a large part of my life. I am slowly learning to accept my body. If I could replace I would, but since that is not possible, I change what I can through diet and exercise. I also just find that I don't want to waste so much of my time on something so useless. In the end I choose not to believe the lies of body image problems. It is a choice to believe the lies of body image. I hope anyone who reads this is that do what you can to improve your body, but never believe the lies that since you don't have six pack abs or a large bust, that this makes you imperfect. The choice is yours to make, I hope you make the right one.

How might a poor body image result in an eating disorder?
A poor body image means that you wish your body was differently shaped than the body you observe when you look in the mirror. To some people, this can lead to a change in eating behavior. You can have a poor body image (think you are ugly while you are not) but never develop an eating "disorder". But some people get too obsessed with changing their body. So obsessed even that it gets in their way of every-day life and it's suddenly called a disorder.
What is your present attitude towards the body?
Depending on who is asked, a person could receive many answers on how someone feels about their body. Some people are presently very happy with their body, others may be working on bettering their body, while others are completely unhappy with their body.
