On the whole, body image is associated with two aspects, physical appearance and the way your body makes you feel us feel in terms of self-confidence and self-esteem.<\/p>\n<p>Body image issues are the third most common problem that adults face in the U.K. according to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ymca.co.uk\/youth-opportunity\/news\/central-ymca-world-of-good-report\">World of Good Report<\/a>\u00a0published by YMCA. According to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/lifeandstyle\/2012\/jun\/10\/body-image-anxiety-eva-wiseman\">Uncomfortable in our skin: the body image report<\/a>, 90% of young women in the UK suffer from body image anxiety.<\/p>\n<p>Reports and statistics do enough to explain the problem, but what is it really like to suffer body image anxiety?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI would say that I have considerable body image problems. I am seeking help for it now. But it was quite hard a few years ago because I was constantly told to reduce weight and exercise. I know they hoped good health for me, but I was not feeling okay with that,\u201d said Yuri Chin, a student from Cardiff University.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think I got body image anxiety after hearing the same comments from friends, family, and even random strangers. After a point, it starts to really trouble your ears and it feels like a burden. Like you want to change a major part of you but you\u2019re so clueless as to how because you\u2019re born like this,\u201d said Vagisha Sureka, a student from Leeds.<\/p>\n<p>Body image anxiety is also known to trigger other mental health problems such as anxiety. According to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/books.google.co.uk\/books?id=YQ92DwAAQBAJ&amp;pg=PA25&amp;dq=does+body+image+connection+to+mental+health&amp;hl=en&amp;sa=X&amp;ved=0ahUKEwjqurTrncvgAhXD8eAKHYLrBg4Q6AEIMTAB#v=onepage&amp;q=does%20body%20image%20connection%20to%20mental%20health&amp;f=false\"><em>Body Image, Eating and Weight: A Guide to Assessment, Treatment and Prevention<\/em><\/a>, body image is related to self-esteem and one\u2019s own identity, both significant components of mental health.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs a petite person, I am constantly told to eat more. I have been outright told to eat a burger or something otherwise \u2018I\u2019ll fly away\u2019 because many people around me think that thin people are products of media perpetuated images of the ideal body type. I\u2019m really not a media propagated body type, I\u2019m just me,\u201d says Tawny May, a business school student from Cardiff Metropolitan University.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It makes me feel so conscious about what to wear every day. A lot of thought has to go into shopping for new clothes,\u201d said Yuri. A lot of time is spent in deciding what goes on social media and what doesn\u2019t, and many people go into social media cleanses because of the fear of how they will be perceived, she added.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_43381\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-43381\" style=\"width: 625px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-43381\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/intercardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2019\/02\/timothy-eberly-515801-unsplash-e1555335512612-625x370.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"625\" height=\"370\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-43381\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-43381\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/intercardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2019\/02\/timothy-eberly-515801-unsplash-e1555335512612-625x370.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"625\" height=\"370\" \/><\/noscript> Many social media accounts and YouTube celebrities talk about body image and encourage body positivity through their content.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Many students who suffer from body image problems resort to extreme measures like crash dieting, binge eating, smoking to reduce appetite or stop eating altogether in hope of achieving the body they want.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy experience so far has been discouraging. I\u2019ve tried all sorts of diet plans to help me gain weight but the needle doesn\u2019t seem to budge. When I used to look in the mirror, I used to see only my flaws and constantly think about a perfect body. What does that even mean? But you still think about it because there is an ideal body somewhere in your mind,\u201d said Vagisha.<\/p>\n<p>According to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.psychologytoday.com\/gb\/blog\/media-spotlight\/201311\/media-exposure-and-the-perfect-body\">Media Exposure and the \u201cPerfect\u201d Body<\/a>, an article published in Psychology Today, states that body image anxiety can cause people to form an image of an ideal body type in their minds. This means that the body type they want, doesn\u2019t match the one that they have which often leads to low self-esteem and an unhealthy relationship with food.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was, well, overweight when I was a teenager and I never went out because I didn\u2019t have a perfect body to show off. That has changed and I\u2019m a lot more comfortable now, but I was practically in hiding in my young teenage years. I didn\u2019t like that I didn\u2019t have a \u2018figure\u2019 to show,\u201d said Tawny.<\/p>\n<p>It can be hard to deal with body image anxiety and the problems that come along with it but realising how much the people around you influence you, is very important, said Yuri. \u201cThe people around you will always say things, you know. It\u2019s important to realise you need to find the ones who actually support you,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have found my tribe, as you call it, to support me and encourage me to exercise and feel good about the body that I am in. I didn\u2019t have much support growing up, and I knew how I felt. So, I decided to never make the people around me feel bad about themselves and their bodies. We are all only given one body, shouldn\u2019t we want to make it a home?,\u201d says Tawny.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_43380\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-43380\" style=\"width: 635px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-43380 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/intercardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2019\/02\/louis-hansel-973627-unsplash-e1555334602897.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"635\" height=\"357\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/intercardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2019\/02\/louis-hansel-973627-unsplash-e1555334602897.jpg 635w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/intercardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2019\/02\/louis-hansel-973627-unsplash-e1555334602897-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/intercardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2019\/02\/louis-hansel-973627-unsplash-e1555334602897-500x281.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 635px) 100vw, 635px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-43380\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-43380 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/intercardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2019\/02\/louis-hansel-973627-unsplash-e1555334602897.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"635\" height=\"357\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/intercardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2019\/02\/louis-hansel-973627-unsplash-e1555334602897.jpg 635w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/intercardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2019\/02\/louis-hansel-973627-unsplash-e1555334602897-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/intercardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2019\/02\/louis-hansel-973627-unsplash-e1555334602897-500x281.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 635px) 100vw, 635px\" \/><\/noscript> Offering support for anyone suffering from body image anxiety can help them feel less alone.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Body image is a serious issue that needs to be tackled with in the most appropriate way possible. One of the first things you can do is educate yourself about the problem.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf I know someone around me has body image anxiety, I try to get to know the person on a deeper level so as to make them comfortable and not make them anxious about their issues. I wish though that people would do the same back for me, or at least not comment on certain things about my body that I am conscious about in the first place.\u201d said Vagisha.<\/p>\n<p>Once you are familiar with the issues surrounding body image, it will be easier to notice them in yourself and in others.<\/p>\n<p>A simple thing you can do to help is acknowledge the problem. It is quite hard for someone suffering from body image or any mental health issue to admit that they are going through something.<\/p>\n<p>Try to create a safe space without judgement so as to make people who want to communicate, feel safe and calm. Lastly, therapy is always a step forward in the right direction.<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 100%\">\n<div style=\"padding-bottom: 55.88%;padding-top: 0;height:
