Body image is more than just how we look. According to renowned body image researcher Thomas Cash, it also includes how we feel about and see ourselves.
Sometimes, what we see in the mirror is not an accurate reflection of how we actually look. Beauty is subjective. Everyone has a different opinion of what looks good. But our self-perception can become distorted. What we believe about our appearance may be far from reality, and even further from how others see us.
For me, I had a poor self-image growing up. Before I turned 18, I did not know how to care for myself. I did not like how I looked, but I also did not know how things could be different. Even now, more than a decade later, I sometimes catch myself slipping into that same mindset, as if I am still the girl who did not know how to look after herself or believe she could look good. Just like each time someone sees my book cover, they ask, “Who is the person on the right-hand side?” and I say, “That is me.” It still surprises them, and sometimes, it surprises me too.
So here is the real question: If someone looks great but still feels not good enough, is the issue really their appearance?
Sometimes, the real work is not about changing how we look. It is about updating the outdated body image we are still holding onto. Am I still seeing myself through the eyes of who I used to be?
