The National Organization for Women Foundation reports that at age thirteen, 53% of American girls are “unhappy with their bodies.”  This grows to 78% by the time girls reach seventeen. Even without knowing these stats, it's pretty clear that body image issues are VERY common among women and can develop at a young age. If you've struggled with body image, you know how frustrating it can feel to improve it. It's certainly not as simple as repeating self-love affirmations.
