Men also suffer from negative body image. While many women I know have told me, at one time or another, that they feel fat, men sometimes think that they look fat. Men are not affected the same way as women by negative body image.
I caught my reflection while at work yesterday and I looked fat. I am told that I am smart and yet my physical appearance seems to portray me as big, dumb, and physically slow. And I started thinking that maybe this is why I have not found someone yet. I decided I would lose 20 to 30 pounds which is a sensible amount for me personally to lose.
So I am faced with this negative body image that is re-enforced every few minutes as I pass by my reflection. What do I do? I keep on working despite my self-consciousness.
Most women I know would collapse under that. They do not want to get out of bed when they feel fat. And I am told that there is not necessarily a physiological connection to women feeling fat.
