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.
I was born a chubby, healthy baby—the chubbiest of my siblings, in fact. But by the time I was in kindergarten I had slipped down the growth charts, and became just plain skinny.
Currently all sizes are in US sizes.
We are thrilled with the international attention that is now coming to our project and we hope to add additional sizing options soon.
Thank you!
