The Perfect Body Shape
i cant help but be a victim of 'body image' issue, cuz like what is the ideal body?? even tho i am a hijabi and i wear abbaya i still cant help but look into a mirror or window to see my reflection, weather i look fat or not, am i too spotty, or do i have a double chin LOL
i dunno, i wish i could be comfortable in my own skin and confident. like everytime i am talkin to someone girl or boy i think to myself ' what are they thinking about me? oh my god did they notice my bushy eyebrows' and i always look down......hmm...........

the perfect body that is shaped in our mind by the mass and media is 90/60/90 :) and we guys like that calibre

if u always think what others r thinking about u while u r talking to them... that means u r not confident... u always seek aproval of someone else...
let me tell u one think... the only way to be happy is to not give a damn about what others think about u... this is ur life not theirs... and u do what u think is right...
cheers...

You're beautiful if you think you're beautiful. You're ugly if you think you're just that, ugly. When you feel the need to feel insecure, you should realise that nobody owes you anything and neither do you to them. And you're not going to marry everyone and everyone isn't going to marry you. So what's the point in keeping tab of your physical attribute. Eat well and take care of yourself. Beyond that just let go.

I think this is an interesting topic to discuss. First off, there is nothing like perfect body shape. I mean some people out there carry themselves around with the thought of having a perfect body shape that will attract many people, but it's not true. Almighty Allah created each of us with normal (in most cases) body, so what we do to our body is up to us. The best thing to do is to eat healthy, and exercise regualarly, in order to be in a good well-being. Plus, be in a state of purification.

aww sist, u have to build ur confident, little by little... theres 3 steps i share with u sist 
1. Be thankful of what u have - none perfect sist, imagine when u think u have unperfect body think people who dont have complete body like, no hands, no feet, and even blind people. More gratefull of what u have make ur heart more open and less complain. try that sometimes.
2. Be positive - if u talk with ur friends, dont think about, hows my look in front of them, but think that true friends never ever djuge u by ur looks, even they saw u someday u look mess, they will talk to u with nice words and will try to give u their hands to make u more better and confident.
3. Look in the mirow and smile - well i always do that
really make u feel better sist. and btw dont forget to make dua when u look in the mirrow.
thats all for me. hoe ur feeling much better now sist

Assalam Alaikum, There is no such thing as a perfect body shape. Only according to what the the Kuffar thinks is perfect and most women and sisters follow this nonsense. Allah ta'ala created us in the best of images period. The so-called perfect bodies are awaiting us in Jinnah Insha'allah if we stop being shallow here in this Dunya. We have started picking up bad habits from the Kafirs such as being superficial and materialism and wonder why our Deen is messed up. We won't marry brothers because their 10-15 years older and he doesn't have this kind of job etc. That could be the best brother for you to get you to Jinnah but your to busy being caught up in this superficial dunya garbage. Brothers and Sisters it's time to grow up.

Your body shape and size was the way that Allah created you to be. As you grow older your body changes with life...once you have children and also when you grow old...but even in those times it again is Allahs plan and design of your body.
Now for the media thing....have a look at world famous Marilyn Monroe...at that time when she was alive she was size 16 (US dress size) and that was known at that time as super model size...but if she was a model in todays world, she would be in the overweight near obese size. It makes you think doesnt it. Why would you wanna be so thin that you are skin and bones....not to forget that you would have a eating disorder that screws up your organs in your body and the acid of being so sick all the times distroys your teeth...oh and not to forget that the stress on your body for forever dieting that it stops your periods...so you may have screwed up your chances there of easierly falling pregnant when you want to have children.
I will stick to my M&M's and be happy with the body Allah has blessed me with. I eat healthy yes....but I dont live on carrot sticks all the time. But I always say....dont worry about your weight until you cant fit through a door...and then you know you have a bit of a problem.

salam u shud never think like that....sometimesz i feel the same way.... but have u evr seen shows like "the man with no face".... or the "elephant man "... or the people who subhanallah are fully covered in hair. wivout their faces visible. Allah swt has created u beautiful.... face it ur beautiful because u have a face... u have eyes 2 look through.... ears 2 ear with.... mouth 2 speak with... in all ways ur beautiful.....
i dont mean 2 make this long and lectury type.... but the beautiful people around u may be so ugly inside that u wudnt never wanne turn 2them again.... coz of their character.... e.g. have u ever seen them girls who look so gorgeous with their load of make up.... lovely fragrance as they pass by you.... their style for fashion etc..... but when u speak 2 them its like talkign 2 a plastic doll... 99% of them are dumb... and theyre so busy with their appearance they dont even have a personality!!!!!!!.... that is why us muslim sisters are so much more better and inmteresting 2 hang out with!!.... coz we dont display our beauty on sale.... and much more... but my fingers are aching .... dnt like typing this mcuh lol
