  1. Before the bell: 1. Grab the 2 worksheets from the table. 2. Find a group of 4-5…Groups must be all boys or all girls. 3. Sit with your group on the floor. 4. Get your journal and a writing utensil. Body Image

  2. Girls answer this question: What makes a guy cool? (Think about fitting into a “box”. What do you have to look like to fit into the box?) What makes them “cool”? Boys answer this question: What makes a girl cool? (Think about fitting into a “box”. What do you have to look like to fit into the box?) What makes them “cool?”

  3. Journal (Looking at the posters…) 1. How does that make you feel? 2. Do you fit in the boxes described? 3. Do you want to fit into the box? Why/why not? Who pressures you to fit into the box? If you could make your own “box” what would you put in it? (What type of person would you be and want others to be?)

  4. Journal What qualities do you look for in a person that has nothing to do with their appearance?

  5. How do people try to fit into the “appearance” box? What are some ways they try to do that?

  6. Feelings of comparison, guilt, anger, sadness…can lead to disordered eating. Disordered eating is when a person is not listening to their own body but is listening to other people. Disordered eating can lead to extreme eating behaviors that can be deadly.

  7. Disordered eating includes: Anorexia = self-starvation; eating very little or nothing at all Health problems include: damage to the heart, kidneys, and liver; osteoporosis; weakened muscles; DEATH Bulimia = binging (eating large amounts of food) and purging (vomiting after eating) Health problems include: tooth decay; damage to esophagus, stomach, intestines; DEATH Emotional eating which can lead to obesity. = Eating to “comfort” feelings of hurt, shame, guilt. Health problems include: damage to bones/joints; damage to heart; DEATH

  8. All disordered eating behaviors can result in malnutrition. Malnutrition is when the body does not get enough nutrients to function.

  9. So what is healthy eating? • Healthy eating means listening to your body (intuitive eating). Your body knows how to use the food you eat. Your body will tell you when its hungry, when its full, what foods it wants or needs. • A healthy eater: • eats all foods • enjoys food for what it is (fuel for the body) • does not use food to express emotions

  10. The media (TV, magazines, movies, celebrities, news) and our country tells us that our appearance shows if we are healthy. FALSE. Every person is unique. Every person has a different body type.

  11. Mesomorph: Square, heavily muscled, athletic build Body Types Ectomorph: Thin, long limbed, possibly tall, little muscle definition Endomorph: Round body, little muscle definition, high body fat % Most people are medial (combination of these three body types).

  12. We are each a unique combination of these body types. Be proud and confident in the unique type that you are. A person with healthy body image has confidence in themselves and has a personality. Remember, celebrities are paid to “sell their body”, their entire life is based on their appearance.

  13. Did you know this? Psychological studies have shown that the more people focus on their appearance, the less brain power they have to think… In other words those who are concerned about their appearance are not able to think!

  14. “Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don’t matter, and those who matter don’t mind.”

  15. Question that you need to be able to answer by Thursday… If you looked at yourself in the mirror, who would you want to be reflected back? What kind of person? (Think about if we could symbolically see certain qualities…)

  16. Think about this… What if the only reason people knew you was because you were “beautiful, hot, fine, handsome, studly…” Answer these questions in your journal: 1. What would your friendships with other people be based on? (Why would people be friends with you?) 2. Do you think those friendships would last? 3. What would happen if you were to have an accident and your appearance/body was changed? Would people still be your friend?
