Last year (or the year before) someone had posted a link to a site where you tried to place yourself in a lineup and see how your perception of yourself is... it was a british clothing store (I think)... I've looked and looked and can't find it... can anyone help? The title of the post was something like for the fun of it... or something to that effect.

    nope - it was a clothing store - and they had a lineup - sort of like in the how to look good naked show - except they weren't naked =)

    My perception of myself is still off. I'm 5% smaller than I think I am. That's society's doing... It's slowly changing though...

    Glad that was it. I searched the forums for "body image perception" and came across someone else who had been looking and someone answered them. I went and tried it too...I apparently think I am a great deal larger than I am. Have a hard time with that...

    This is awesome. I'm 15% smaller than I think I am. But, that's less than I thought it would be.

    I like this site. It said I was 15% smaller than I think I am. I was very surprised - I thought I picked the right size.

    Fascinating site! I'm guessing I'm a little bit smaller than what I really am.

    I'm 30% smaller than I think I am... kinda blew me away that my perception of how I look is so messed up compared to what I actually am. It's kind of an eye opener.

    Thank you Cosmo, Victoria's Secret, and the fashion and diet industry everywhere for seriously $%#@ing us all up!

    Thank you so much for this! I'm still losing weight, but I have days where I really can't see it in the mirror. I've become like a vain teenager taking endless selfies, trying to convince my brain that YES I am thinner. Not thin, but thinner! lol.

    I'm 17.5% smaller than I thought, and I thought I was being really accurate!

    15% smaller than the model I picked.

    But other than the models at each end of the lineup, the women looked pretty much the same size to me, differing mainly in body type (bigger boobs vs. smaller, straight vs. curvy, etc) so my pick was difficult to make anyway since most of the models looked the same to me so I'm not about to use this test result as any indicator that I have body dysmorphia or whatever. But even if I did, I would attribute it to the near 100 lb change in my own body size over the last year, not anything else.

    Cool site though.

    Wow! Thats kinda sad if you think about it. We see ourselves so differently than others. Good experiment though
