 |  Mind playing tricks
There have been quite a few posts about not realizeing what size we are. I caught this show by accident, but you might want to check it out!
Have any of you guys seen that show by the gay guy...something like 'how to look good naked'? One of the experiments he does is he has the person the show is about (it's different each episode) getting in their bra and panties and there's a line of about 5 other girls in their skivvies. They all range from smallest to largest and tells the person to place themselves between the 2 people they think they 'fall' between size wise. It winds up being their real size is between the smallest 2, but they always go for the bigger end. He says they add inches in their mind and think they're bigger than they are.
There is no weight reduction on the show and each person comes out feeling fabulous and sexy. One other trick is he displays a picture of their headless body with bra and panties and asks random people on the street their opinion and to rate the girl from 1-10.
It's amazing how we can be the hardest on ourselves and be the worst judge of our own body!!!!!

I once saw a TV experiment similar to that, only they used videos pics of self and let the person fiddle with the monitor buttons to "correct" their size.
I wrote about it in a thread titlled " The tricks our brian play on us."

I actually watched the first show. It was nice. I mean he helped her see her body for what it was, and helped her get clothes that actually fit, which helped her look and feel better. I haven't watched another one though.

I haven't seen anymore either. My DVR was supposed to record Grey's Anatomy, but when I watched it it was that show. It turned out to be 2 episodes and it caught my attention, but not enough to watch again. I think it just goes to show you how different we perceive ourselves.
