| November 13, 2002 The previous silliness was something called Googlisms. It's like a giant, bizarre poem with your name in every line. www.googlism.com Onto more web fun. I came across a Body Image Test that was pretty interesting. I know I have some pretty major body image issues, but my god. On a scale of 1-100 (with 100 being the ultimate positive body image) I scored a whopping 10. Wow! Here are the rest of my test results. You're not overjoyed with your physical appearance - to put it lightly. You feel quite uncomfortable in situations where you have to reveal a little skin, and likely go out of your way to avoid them altogether. You feel inadequate when you compare yourself to others, and may even go to extreme lengths (plastic surgery, severe dieting) to change the way you look. What it boils down to is this: the negative view you have of your looks is putting a serious damper on the way you live. You don't always wear the clothes you'd like because of insecurities, you may lack the confidence to pursue the people you're attracted to, and likely spend more time than you should worrying about physical flaws. The fact is, you're downright hard on yourself - but it doesn't have to be this way. Everyone struggles with insecurity during different periods of their lives; think of the number of movie stars and super models that spent an adolescence miserable, convinced they were hideously ugly. While we can't all be supermodels, we all have our unique style and look that makes us attractive. The world would be boring if we were all a bunch of Barbie and Ken dolls. No matter how we fit in to society's constantly changing beauty standards, we always judge ourselves much more harshly than other people do. We think we've got a huge schnoz; others think it's regal. We hate our freckles; other people think they're charming. Overall, there's one kind of beauty that never dies - inner confidence. Make it your mission! It will probably be no surprise to anyone that my personal motto is "You are what you eat." I really believe it too. |
