What Real Women Look Like

In a world full of images of how we "should" look it can get difficult to tell how we DO look. Our hope is to build a site where women can see what real women look like. What we really look like. Most women have spent so many years looking at themselves in mirrors that we can no longer see what's really there. With this project perhaps we will be able to more objectively see what we look like and come to some acceptance that we are all beautiful.
My Body Gallery promotes positive self image and realistic body image by showing what real women look like. Using a collection of photographs searchable by height, weight, pants size, shirt size and body type (apple body type, pear body type, banana body type and hourglass body type), mybodygallery.com helps women answer questions like "what do I look like," "what does a size 6 look like," and "do I look fat." My Body Gallery is about unretouched pictures of real women, but provides great articles as well. The Body Image Blog is stories submitted by women sharing their feelings about their bodies. News and Information is full of ideas about how to dress your body type, as well as body image studies and statistics. The only site of its kind, My Body Gallery is not about weight loss, dieting, or being judged for your appearance. It is not about slimming clothing or cosmetics. It is an accepting community of women who anonymously share their secrets about their bodies to help you feel more comfortable in your own skin.

MY BODY STORIES

I Promise

I keep reading these stories that are all horribly negative. Some people are blessed with good health, some who aren't, those that dislike their bodies and others who feel inevitably betrayed by theirs.

Happy Birthday To Me!

Happy Birthday to me! Happy Birthday to me! Happy Birthday, dear Erin! Happy birthday to me!

NEWS AND INFORMATION

Please Read This!

This site is here as an accurate reflection of what real women look like. All women.

Why?

A recent study found that 95% of non-eating disordered women overestimate the size of their hips by 16% and their waists by 25%, yet the same women were able to correctly estimate the width of a box.

Disappear
02/06/2012

 All my life I've had a body complex. I thought everything about me needed to just DISAPPEAR!

 

Up until about age fifteen, I was WAY bigger than I should have been (age 15= 5' 2" 175lbs) Even though now I'm 5' 4", 140lbs (with size DD boobs) I still believed I was some grotesque thing.

I always remembered myself being "the fat girl" that my sister always use to tease.

Seeing the girls on here that now match my body type, height, and weight... wow. They're gorgeous! I guess it just takes seeing someone beautiful who looks almost exactly like you to realize how perfect you really are :)
