    I scored 15. Despite trying to lose weight I've made it a point to wear my size loud and proud. Life's too short to be uncomfortable with who I am.

    I definitely feel like being clueless results in a better body image.
    I paid so much less attention to my body when I was even more overweight.

    You have scored 20 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.

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

    or REALLY hot!

    That doesn't always do it. When I was younger and a lot hotter than I am now, I think I would have scored higher. Age has made me much more comfortable in my own skin, even if that skin isn't as a hot as it used to be.

    Guess I didnt need to take a quiz to tell me I have a crappy body image.

    Same for me. Does it concern you at all? Or is it no big deal? Where's the balance?

    I have no answers... :grumble:

    53.

    SCORE 40+ You are suffering from a condition called body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) which is translated as body hatred.

    I'm not surprised at all.

    I scored a 17. Probably because I am older and wiser than I was when I was in my 20's or 30's. I love myself and don't give a rat's *kitten* what others think of me!

    For what it's worth, I think the results are a little skewed a bit on the low end and pessimistic. I'd say excellent self-image is more like 0-15, very good is 15-25, shaky 25-35, watch out 35-45, and trouble 45+. But I don't put too much stock in the literal results, this is just a way to get you to reflect on your thought patterns.

    I took the test a second time and i think this one is more accurate. The first one is who i use to be.

    I scored 21

    This is interesting. How long did you wait before taking it again? What do you think changed your feelings most in that time?

    23.

    And the assessment seems about right. Interesting quiz, and as others have said, it is crazy that even when you lose "the weight," your mind often doesn't change as fast.

    43 :( Not surprised, but still weird to see in print what you feel. The funny thing is that a friend and I had this discussion this past weekend, and I was saying how I needed to change the way I think but just don't know how.

    Scored 39 - not a surprise to me. This has made me decide to call a therapist today.

    I came in at 42 and I'm actually rather surprised by it. Obviously something to think about.
