How we see ourselves can have a huge impact on how we
feel.
It is important to have a realistic view of our own bodies, so
we can understand how to keep at
a healthy
weight.
Sometimes, we can get a distorted picture of our bodies, which
can lead to eating disorders such as bulimia and anorexia nervosa
or binge eating.
Different people also have different body shapes. And when we
are younger it is important to remember that we all grow at
different rates. It can be quite normal for two people who are the
same height to be different weights.
If you are worried you might be under or overweight you should
go to your GP.
If you are concerned about eating disorders you can get more
help from the beat website.
