Help Needed :)

[black_cinq]

Well, i need some peoples help with my psychology coursework

Dont worry i'm not going to psychologically analyse you or anything. I only need a small sample i'm just finding it difficult getting a good range of people as my friends only go up to about 18 and then its my mums age people.
I'm looking for responces from both males and females.

Basically i'm doing a study into low self esteem.

If people would just answer the following questions it would be of great help to me and im sure a few rep points are in it for you

Age:

Sex:

Now, for the next two please do it on a scale of 1 to 9, 1 being thinnest.

What you rate your current figure at:

What your ideal figure would be:

I understand if these are quite personal questions so if people dont want to reply to this thread feel free to pm me, or contact me in any other way

Finally, thankyou to any responces.

OK to add to this I am not worried about my figure and nor do I have a self esteem issue . I was about a stone lighter in that pic than I am now and even though I don't look overweight now by any means I have a BMI of 25 and am officially overweight. Therefore I need to lose weight, end of (although the stone on the front of my chest probably doesn't help I don't think BMI takes that into account).

This wasnt meant to be a thread about people saying they had or hadnt got self esteem issues. I dont want to upset anyone. Nor did i want people putting a high score just so they'd get the sympathy vote.

Its all about perception, one persons 6 may be anothers 3. Males and females also see figures differently.

Sorry Lora I just wanted to explain what I had put and why it may not seem to gel with what others see, you probably wanted a plain survey not experiences but I put it hoping it would help you .

I am not upset I am happy to add further if you wish at a later date by PM/ whatever it's not something I'm embarrassed over although I know it's a thorny issue for many.

 

[black_cinq]

I know how much it is an issue for me to talk about my weight i guess, thats why i said something about people expanding on their answers.

Steak and Chips is my secret but i went slightly too far and got to 7 instead of a 5. See how a month's worth of takeaway's and less excercise gets you nearer a 4
