    I got a 29. I thought it was bad, but apparently lower is good.. haha

    I'm in the "Lack of Self-Confidence" category.... yup! That's me!

    I'm a work in progress. :smile:

    50+ - but that doesn't surprise me right now.
    This has been saved on my bookmarks, going to re-do it every month to see whether how I see myself changes :)

    I scored a 55.. I've lost a bunch of weight, and I'm WAY more positive than I used to be, but maybe it's still accurate.. eh. I saved this in my favorites and plan on taking it in a few weeks again to see where I fall.

    I think intentionally revisiting it once in a while is a really good idea.

    Welp. I scored a 73. And that's after losing over 100 pounds. I'm pretty sure this is just the way it will always be for me. :/

    I'm not having a bad day yet I got 75 points.
    Highly inaccurate. I do not suffer from BDD, never have done. I'm fat I know it, 230lbs. I'm a big lass, there's nothing "dysmorphic" about it, thanks.

    If I ticked "never" to all of those answers I think I would have to be completely deluded!

    I have never been happy with my shape. And especially since my little one I'm disgusted with my tummy. Xx

    You have scored 14 points.

    SCORE 10-20

    You live comfortably in your body - most of the time. However, your body image and, therefore, your self-confidence can from time to time be a little shaky and there is a risk that certain situations could make you anxious on account of the way you feel about your body, size, shape or appearance. There are several aspects to this that you may need to work on in order to reduce this anxiety and make your life more comfortable.

    First of all ask yourself how much do your feelings about your body actually stop you from doing the things which could give you pleasure, such as buying new clothes, being close to someone you love, or even enjoying your holidays. If the truth is that your body image is getting in the way, you may need to take stock.

    Perhaps you should ask yourself whether it is your body which is 'wrong' or your feelings about your body which need to be adjusted. Is there perhaps one part of your body you are at war with, (like your tummy or your legs) which is colouring the way you feel about your entire self? How much have you taken on board the completely unrealistic pressures on us all to look like supermodels? No-one can be perfect and it isn’t likely that people will see you as you see yourself.

    You may need to do a little work on your self-confidence and self-esteem to help you overcome the minor body image problems that you have and live your life to the full. Life is not a rehearsal and if we 'wait until' our body shape is the way we really want it, we may not do some of the things we would really like to do.

    It isn’t advisable to solve a body image problem by rushing into a diet or throwing yourself into an exercise programme. If you would like to learn a few useful exercises which will help you feel better about your body (and they really work) see them below, and enjoy a better quality of life.

    You have scored 7 points.

    SCORE 0-10
    Congratulations! You have a good body image and an excellent self-esteem. As a result of this, you are at peace with yourself.
    The way you feel about your body has little impact on how you go about your daily life. This is how it should be. Perhaps you are aware of the pressures on people to be a certain shape or size. You see it all around you. Pressures to go on diets, or pressures to go to the gym and achieve a toned-up body. Pressures to look younger than you really are.
    You probably feel, correctly, that other things are important in determining how you are to feel about yourself. Be aware however, that people around you may not share similar feelings of self-acceptance. If anything, you will need to guard against being insensitive about how other people feel about the way they think they look, because a healthy body concept has very little to do with the reality of personal appearance, it is more a reflection of how they feel about themselves inside.
    In today’s image-conscious society, many people, no matter how successful or attractive they are, have distorted feelings about their size, shape, and appearance which affect their ability to lead a normal life. Take care, therefore, not to tease or make unguarded comments that might hurt the people you care for. And continue to enjoy your life without letting body feelings get in the way.

    I scored 17. I feel pretty good about myself, but I'd be lying if I said somethings don't bother me. Like comments about weight from my family (my mother can be very insulting), generally bother me, but from a complete stranger...well then I really don't care too much. Although I will say working out always makes me feel better, especially if I end up dripping in sweat.

    I got a 17 too. I feel the same way, an insult from a family member/friend would hold a lot more power on me than an insult from a stranger. who cares what strangers think :P

    22....I thought that was low but the description made it sound like I'm super insecure. I don't "feel" that way, but maybe I am?
