Help Promote Positive Body Image

Here are the top 5 ways:

1. Choose one friend or family member and discuss one thing you each like about yourself.
2. Keep a journal of all the good things your body allows you to do (e.g., sleep well and wake up rested, play tennis, etc.).
3. Pick one friend to make a pact with to avoid Fat Talk. When you catch your friend talking negatively about their body, remind them of the pact.
4. Make a pledge to end complaints about your body, such as "I'm so flat-chested" or "I hate my legs." When you catch yourself doing this, make a correction by saying something positive about that body part, such as, "I'm so glad my legs got me through soccer practice today."
5. The next time someone gives you a compliment, rather than objecting ("No, I'm so fat"), practice taking a deep breath and saying "thank you."

Bring Reflections to your campus.

Reflections represents the first evidence-based, peer-led body image education and eating disorder prevention program repeatedly shown to work, and is the first designed for and in collaboration with an international sorority, Tri Delta. Co-developed by Dr. Carolyn Becker, the local sororities of Trinity University and Tri Delta, Reflections improves body image dissatisfaction and encourages healthy confrontation and communication skills.
