When you're changing for gym class, you:

stretch out your shirt and contort your body-anything to be sure no one gets to see you in your underwear.

feel comfortable getting down to your underwear, but you don't want anyone to see you naked.

figure, "Hey, what's the big deal about being seen without any clothes on? We're all girls in here."

When you check yourself out in the mirror; you say to yourself:

"I like the way I look."

"If I would only lose twenty pounds or so, I'd be almost passable."

"I didn't have that pimple yesterday, maybe I should use something to cover it up."

Your class is going on an end-of-year beach trip.You:

figure that if you can keep your shorts on, you'll be fine.

make sure to bring your swimsuit since it's a really hot day, and you know you're going to want to swim in the lake.

ask your mom to write a note excusing you. No way you're going to be seen by the guys in your class wearing a swimsuit or even shorts.

When the cute boy you have a crush on tells you that you look really good today, you:

know he must want to borrow your math homework. Why else would he give you such a ridiculous compliment?

say, "Thank you," and feel really good that he noticed you.

are surprised that he would say that to you.

If you could magically change how you look you:

would start from scratch----there's not much about your body you want to keep.

can think of a couple of things you would change, but basically you're pretty happy with your appearance.

would want to change four or five things and then you'd feel good about how you look.

You exercise because you:

know it's healthy, and besides, it makes you feel good and it's fun.

are afraid that if you don't, your body will look even worse than it does now.

would like to have a more buff look.

If you had to name your favorite part of your body, you:

wouldn't be able to answer, you really can't think of any that you like.

would admit your favorite as long as you didn't have to say it publicly.

would have a tough time choosing between a couple of top choices.
