    Scored a 37. I'm already knowing everything they told me LOL. It's getting better though so I'm not worried.

    I scored 25. So basically, I'm pretty normal. This is good. Somehow I expected I had a worse body image than the average, but I guess mine's not really influenced by how I perceive other people see me. Interesting.

    I scored a 47! I don't feel like I have BDD. I just am very uncomfortable with my weight at the moment.

    You have scored 11 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.



    Hmmmm. I never have any self confidence issues. This test is bogus!

    IN all fairness, I think this quiz should someplace ask our stats. Because, I think at 60 lbs over my goal weight I have every right to feel "uncomfortable in social situations..." or whatever it said, no?

    I think that stats are kind of irrelevant in terms of justification of feelings. By doing that, you are kind of saying "Well, at 60 pounds overweight, I should feel uncomfortable" which kind of points to disordering thinking.

    I think the whole point is that you shouldn't judge your self based on your weight at all. Someone who is 60 pounds overweight has every right to love themselves and expect respect from others as someone with a perfect body (not that the latter exists anyway)

    I scored zero.

    "Congratulations! You have a good body image and an excellent self-esteem. As a result of this, you are at peace with yourself."

    That 's me! I did not always feel this good about myself. I worked very hard to improve my self-esteem.

    I scored a 57. I'm actually surprised it wasn't higher, I have awful self esteem.

    Exactly. Weight should not have anything to do with our self-esteem.

    Actually, it is the opposite of what you suggest. You have the right to feel comfortable in social situations no matter what you weigh.

    I pose this question as i got a 58. What is WRONG with BDD? What is WRONG with not accepting anything but perfection? What's wrong with not liking the way I look?

    No, seriously.... i'm waiting.

    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.

    No, seriously.... i'm waiting.

    I guess if you enjoy feeling endless disappointment with yourself, nothing's wrong with it.

    It's only dissapointment if you give up. The quiz doesn't address trying to FIX the problem, why should i just settle and be happy with something that is clearly not where i want to be?

    It doesn't mean there wont ever be a time when i'm satisfied, simply that i'm not at the current time.
