Personal Perception is important to everyone because it basically determines how you are able to view others and the world at large.
With positive self perception, comes positive body perception.
To have to compare and try to immulate someone else may do more harm than motivate for people with distorted self perception.
And don't worry, everyone has a preference in what a 'good body' is supposed to look like therefore, everyone has some opinions on how their own bodies looks based upon their own preferences.
Its not unusual to want to look like someone else just know that they look the way that they do for a reason. Especially those in the media, they are entertainers who get paid to be who they are & to look a certain way. Besides they receieve assistance to look the way that they do as well as notice that because they look like this NOW... doesn't mean it'll be that way forever and that its always been this way. Always be realistic.
Many girls [women too] of average weight think they are overweight and are not satisfied with their bodies. Having extreme weight concerns-and acting on those concerns-can harm girls' social, physical and emotional growth. Actions such as skipping meals or taking diet pills can lead to poor nutrition and difficulty learning. For some, extreme efforts to lose weight can lead to eating disorders such as anorexia or bulimia. For others, the pressure to be thin can actually lead to binge eating disorder: overeating that is followed by extreme guilt. What's more, girls are more likely to further risk their health by trying to lose weight in unhealthy ways, such as smoking.
While not as common, boys are also at risk of developing unhealthy eating habits and eating disorders. Body image becomes an important issue for teenage boys as they struggle with body changes and pay more attention to media images of the "ideal" muscular male.
So with that being said, what do you think of yourself?
