Answer these questions and then read on to find out what your answers say about your body image.

1.  Which parts of your body do you feel really good about?

2.  What would you change about your body or the way you look? Why?

3.  Do you have a relative you look like? Or have you been told that you look like a certain celebrity? If so, how does it feel to know that you look like that person?

4.  How much time do you spend getting ready before you go to school in the morning? Before you go out on a date?

5.  In general, how do you feel about food and eating? Is it something you enjoy, or something you feel worried, guilty or concerned about?

6.  Is there something about your looks that would keep you home from school? A zit? A bad hair day?

7.  What steps would you take to change your body? Exercise? Cosmetic surgery? What’s too far?

When answering these questions, look for extremes. If, for example, there is not one thing you like about your looks and you’d freak if a zit popped up on your nose, you probably have a pretty low body image and need some help.

If, on the other hand, you found lots of things you like about your body and don’t spend too much time worrying about how you look, then you probably have a good body image.
