Mirror, Mirror
Most women aren't happy about the way they look. In a recent study at the University of
South Florida, Tampa, 100 women were asked to estimate the size of their waists, thighs,
and hips. More than 95 percent saw themselves as larger than they actually were. The
average woman overestimated her size by 25 percent.
The distorted self-image can also be found in very young girls. In one study, a physician
came across a five-year-old girl who would cry when her mother suggested she get into her
bathing suit for a swim. The girl said she looked fat in a swim suit, when in fact her weight
was normal. Some experts blame media attention and society's fascination with super slim
models for women's unrealistic expectations.
