Poor body image = poor attitude

Poor body image can affect women in more ways than one, according to a recent survey by . Results found that when they were unhappy with their body, two in five women began making negative comments about themselves.

The results found there were plenty more ramifications that come with poor body image, with one in five women saying they found it harder to accept compliments and one in four more likely to feel guilty when struggling with food choices. A huge 76 per cent of respondents believed their life felt more out of control when they weren’t making healthy choices.

Unsurprisingly, one in five respondents said they felt disheartened when their results didn’t reflect their effort, despite exercising regularly and eating a balanced diet.
