Hello there. Today we're going to do a poll about BODY IMAGE.
Here's a nice explainer from Brown University about the different aspects that make up a person's "body image":
– How we perceive our bodies visually
– How we feel about our physical appearance; how we think and talk to ourselves about our bodies
– Our sense of how other people view our bodies
– Our sense of our bodies in physical space (kinesthetic perception)
– Our level of connectedness to our bodies
According to a survey of college-aged students cited by Brown, 74% of women and 46% of a "normal" (read: average) weight "stated that they thought about their weight or appearance 'all the time' or 'frequently'".
OK, it's time for a long list of body parts.
The question for all is: How do you feel about this aspect of your appearance?
A BRIEF PAUSE TO SAY: EVERYONE IS FUCKING BEAUTIFUL.
Phew. OK. How's everyone feeling?
