Body image

Whilst searching something completely unrelated on the internet today I stumbled across this picture. At first it made me laugh but then I realised that I've probably never seen a truer illustration. 

I'm not suggesting that all men look in the mirror and see a sexy hunk staring back but a lot of men do manage to look past their growing beer bellies and see themselves as God's gift to women. I know that this is a massive generalisation and there are thousands, if not millions, of men who struggle with their body image but the contrast of the male/female image in this picture is what makes it so striking. Not all people, male or female, look in the mirror and fail to see their beauty....some fail to see that they have let themselves go and need to maintain new levels of fitness.
