The Ugliness of Body Image

It’s common for someone to look in the mirror, see something they don’t like, and think negatively about their body. Having a negative body image affects millions of people struggling with eating disorders and body dysmorphic disorder. We all know that we shouldn’t spend so much time worrying about what’s on the outside, but don’t always know how to fix the problem. So we try to tell ourselves not to worry, to be happy with ourselves, and stop comparing ourselves to others, but, we still cling to those negative thoughts. Beating ourselves down about our bodies doesn’t help us. It creates problems ranging from mild displeasure to serve depression.
