One thread on here had us discussing memories from our youth about food. It seems like a lot of people look to their mothers as the source or start of their food issues since she was probably the one purchasing and preparing and presenting the food.
I'm curious what your experiences have been with boys and men and how they have influenced your body image.
When I was 19, my college boyfriend told me I had a "flat butt" and that he usually dated girls with big butts. Well, he knew me a year. I wore a size 3. We dated a year and I didn't gain weight. I broke up with him. Even though I'm now 37 and no one else in nearly 20 years has told me I have a flat butt, I still think that of myself.
Does anyone else have any memories of seemingly small incidents or comments delivered by the boys or men in your life that really hurt your self-image?
Are boys and men influenced by the media even more today to have an unrealistic image of girls and women?
