Your Self Series

Question 1 of 3

Tell her she looks horrible.

Tell her you are worried about her weight.

Not say a thing. Weight is such a "no go" zone.

Offer her candy bars, ice cream and chips every chance you get.

Talk to her parents about your worries.

Being blunt is one way to handle it, but how might she feel about that?

Friends often have to do the tough stuff.

Okay, but what zone is "risking your health and life?"

You're being sublte, eh?

Do you let her know that you talked to them? How might she feel?

Question 2 of 3

Wear your gym clothes under your regular clothes, before and after, even if they get really sweaty.

Change.

Create a towel tent to change.

Change at lightening speed.

Create a distraction, i.e. pull the fire alarm or scream, "Look! Over there! It's a rat!"

Bulky? Awkward? Smelly?

What other option is there?

It's challenging and precarious but it solves the problem for you and does say to everyone, "Don't look."

Do you practice at home and time yourself? Ha ha. We're so funny.

How's that working for you? Clever and funny, but a bit suspicious after a few weeks....

Question 3 of 3

Sigh, "Just one?!"

Blurt out your specific body part in under .035 seconds.

Thank her nicely and tell her you are just fine the way you are.

Please read Body Image in full.

We think you may have to repeat it for the fairy. That was a little too fast.

You rock. So does your body. But you knew that.
