In the space below, expand on these thoughts and explore what you hope tolearn on your journey.5“When you are having a bad body image day, find one part of your body that you love and imagine that it’s theonly part of the body that anyone cares about or notices” – Gemma, 16

“As I have grown older, I have gained new respect for my body. Having a baby was the mostwonderful experience. I really loved my beautiful round belly. Every day I feel so lucky to havea body that works well. I can walk, run, dance and enjoy life. Who cares if I have collected a fewsaggy bits along the journey which is life.” - Jane Reilly, Channel 10 senior reporter, AdelaideBody image is the mentalpicture we have about the waywe think we look.Positive bodyimage is feeling comfortableabout how we look.Negativebody image is when we feel uncomfortable about how we look.

“For ages I have been thinking about how I can look better and fit in with the crowd. I tried dieting, thought aboutgetting my nose, belly button or tongue pierced and I even stopped taking my medication, thinking it would make melook better and more popular. I have now decided to work on feeling good from the inside out. I play sports, go to thepool with friends, try and eat healthy most of the time and try to have at least one really good friend to talk to. I stillhave times when I feel not exactly happy about things, but these are starting to get less and less.” - Kalyra, 167

Positive body image brainstorm .Write a list of the activities you could try to improve your body image and how you feel about your body.“When I was younger, I thought that if I lost weight I would be happy not only about my body, but aboutmy life in general. But when I dieted and lost weight, I found not only was I still unhappy, but hungry too.I realised I would never be happy if I was trying to change myself in order to be happy. So by eating abalanced diet, I maintained a healthy weight and ended up liking myself more in a healthy body thanI ever could in one I had to constantly work for.” – Gemma, 16

The things my body can do .Our bodies are capable of doing some really remarkable things, but often we just take them forgranted. Spend some time thinking about what your body can do and appreciating its uniqueness.Add your thoughts to the list below.My body can .heal when it is cut or brokenshut down when I go to sleepdanceride a bikebalancecarry my weightwalk, skip, run and jumpbreathe“Having recently had a baby, I am amazed at the plasticity and elasticity of my body. It has undergone transformations miraculous to me.I have a new respect for my body now. I know with what surprises it is capable of rewarding me.” - Celebrity doctor Cindy Pan

Professional belly dancer and teacher Nayima Hassan believes her art form embraces women of allsizes and shapes. Belly dancing, which developed hundreds of years ago in Egypt and Northern Africa,is traditionally a “woman’s dance for every woman”.“Professional belly dancers can be many different body types,” Nayima said.And Nayima sees this wonderful variety of shapes in her classes.“My students are normal, every day women with busy lives and normalproblems,” she said. “There can be 30 different figure types in oneclass. A lot of them don’t mind having a size 14 bottom and Ithink that is quite refreshing.”While curves can sometimes assist a dancerto accentuate belly dancing moves, Nayimaencourages women of all shapes and sizes tolearn belly dancing also. “If you’ve got somewomanly curves, the dance can look veryappealing, but that shouldn’t stop anyone fromlearning,” she said.The dance form can also assist women to developa further appreciation of their bodies. “We can usevery small muscle groups that we sometimes don’t evenrealise are there,” she said. “When women master moves,they are amazed at what their bodies are capable of.”Nayima’s advice:“Whether you are a size 8 or a size 18, if you live a life withoutdance or exercise, you will never achieve a completely positive bodyimage from within. Alternatively no matter what your size, if you aremobile and dancing your way through life then you will be guaranteedto feel stronger not only in body but also in mind no matter what yoursize or frame. The result will be a more fabulous you with a greaterability to accept and adore yourself.”Nayima’s story:“When I was younger, my height bothered me enormously. But I’ve learned towork with what I’ve got. I’m very agile because I am so small.”

What I like about myself .Think about all the things you like aboutyourself, including your physical features andyour personality traits and characteristics.Why do you like these aspects of yourself?How do you feel when you think about whatyou like about yourself.Add your thoughts to the list below.I like my .curves because they are feminineeyelashes because they are longsense of humour because it makes people laughsensitivity because I am there for people when they need memouth because it is like my mum’slegs because they enable me to go for walksmind because I am able to learn interesting thingseyes because I am able to see beauty in the world“External perfection counts for nothing when there’sno beauty within.” – Rosanna Mangiarelli, Channel 7news presenter, Adelaide13

NFood for thought .Frequently talking about weight and diets can make it difficult to improve your bodyimage. What other challenges, messages and images in modern society make ithard for you to appreciate your body? What can you do to combat these forces?Brainstorm in the space below.“No matter what you think about beauty – we, as women, should encourage each other to love and be ourselvesalways. In my heart, I believe it is our job to nurture and give one another as much positive feedback as possible,and remember to love others like you would love to be loved.” – Marcia Hines, singer/ Australian Idol judge

Why we have body hairBody hair helps keep us warm. In fact, if we become very underweight and don’thave enough body fat for warmth, we can grow down-like hair all over our bodies.Why we have eyebrowsWe colour, pluck, tweeze, zap, pencil in and tattoo our eyebrows. From all thisremodelling, it would appear that eyebrows are nothing but a nuisance. But dothese two hairy facial features really deserve such a bad wrap?Eyebrows are one of our most expressive facial features and we use them tocommunicate even when we are not realising it. Eyebrows also keep moistureout of our eyes. The arched shape diverts rain or sweat around to the sides ofour face, keeping our eyes free from irritants such as the salt in sweat.“I’m not going to say I’m not attractive, but what’s wrong with being an ogre?What’s wrong with being who you are?” - Cameron Diaz, actor
