BALTIMORE - Every day we are bombarded by images of “perfect” women in the media. But very often the images we see are not what women look like in real life.
Now a Web site wants to give people a real look at real women, and hopefully change those body image issues so many women and girls struggle with.
The site, www.mybodygallery.com , shows real women posting images of themselves with the goal of showing what real bodies look like.
The site hides faces in order to ensure honesty and let’s you search by size, or weight or height.
Psychologists are praising the idea, but we want to know your opinion. Tell us what you think on our Facebook fan page.
