Body image is a thing that everybody has to deal with, both men and women. While it may seem highly unlikely, men do suffer from the horrors of eating disorders, such as anorexia and bulimia. Most people don't think about it, as it is more common for women to go through the trials and suffering of having a warped view of their body.
There are so many girls out there who have too many complaints about what they think of their body. Their shoulders are too broad, their thighs are too big, their breasts are too big, etc.
I was blessed with having an hourglass figure, but I do have one thing to complain about. Yes, I do have broad shoulders, but that's not what bothers me. My bust and my hips are each of equal measurements and I have a defined waist, so I shouldn't have anything to complain about, right? Wrong. While I do have good measurements, my calves are like bird's legs. Skinny, skinny, skinny. It creates an extremely weird proportion for my body. So what do I do about it? I buy clothes that can flatter my legs. Skinny jeans don't look as good on me as bootcut, although I can get away with them.
That's a big thing some people don't realize - there are clothes out there that can flatter any body type. One thing that I noticed about myself is that I should never wear horizontral stripes, as it gives the illusion of the body looking wider. This pattern is best saved for girl with boyish figures. Apple-shaped girls should steer away from clothes that draw attention to their generally large mid-section. And for people, like me, clothes that accentuate the waistline are generally a good choice.
Clothes aren't everything, though. You just be proud of the body that you were given, because it's unique. You may think, "sure, sure, lots of people have this body shape," but you're wrong. I mean, look at me. Yes, I'm an hourglass, but I'm a lopsided hourglass. Big, fat, stinkin' deal.
