Thought this video was really interesting and relevant. Probably more so to all us slimmers but it just shows the different perceptions of how you look.It is slightly ott...mainly due to the American participants but interesting all the same.2 People Described The Same Person To A Forensic Artist And This Is What Happened

I agree it was really interesting. I'd love to have a go and see what others see rather than what I see!! Funnily enough I had it pegged as a Dove stunt before it finished and was amazed when I was right! A bit like how you can always tell an M&S ad. This isn't just advertising. Its M&S advertising.

Hmmm ...interesting.
Wonder if anyone does it the other way round....describes themselves as a beauty queen when they really aren't....
I know a few people that probably would!!
Meeooow. Catty or what!?

Thanks for posting this, I found it really interesting. I can identify with these women...I'm definitely my own worst critic in terms of my appearance. I've never liked the colour of my eyes (grey rather than nice sparkly blue ) and I think my nose is enormous, but I've been told off by more than one person in the past for running myself down! xx

Crikey, Sian! If you think your nose is enormous, mine makes me look like the wicked witch of the West! I've got a right bump in it (thanks, Mum). Oops, here I go again, criticising myself!
Actually, I was moaning a few years ago, to my partner, as we were getting ready to go out for the evening, about the skinniness of my legs - another attribute I have to thank my Mum for! The thing is, she was slim all over; I'm just out of proportion!!
However, on a serious note, at the time I was working with a primary age child who had been born with one leg much shorter than the other and my partner said, 'Yours might be thinner than you'd like but I think --- would still choose them over hers.' It did make me think how superficial some of the things we fret about are and, you know, this particular child has grown into the most beautiful young woman. She's taken herself off to Uni, gets glammed up for nights out and has the most amazing smile ever!
It's definitely made me think twice before moaning so much about my appearance.

I think a lot of women are their own worst enemies when it comes to how they look. I know other women can be catty, but I know I'm much harsher on myself than I've ever heard anyone be about me, I know I hate my thighs and arms, but I've never heard anyone point them out as bad. Maybe we should start a thread where people can talk about what they LOVE the most about themselves.
