The article I read was about body image. The article began with talking about negative body image. Negative body image results in eating disorders like bulimia, anorexia, orthorexia, compulsive overeating or binge eating disorder. While this is most common in women, it does happen to me. Negative body image often begins in early childhood and progressively gets worse as the child gets older. This is due to peer interaction.

Some symptoms of negative body image include constantly criticizing yourself in the mirror, comparing your body to someone else’s, etc. The article also talks about how to treat the problem.
