Verse to ponder: 1 Samuel 16:7
You have a healthy body image and rarely think negatively about your body. You aren’t caught up in a quest to attain perfection. Be aware of your body, and make good health a priority. Make sure to praise God for the way He made you, and continue to view your body the way God views it. Also, encourage your friends by valuing their inner beauty and helping them to foster healthy perceptions of their bodies.

[EYES] Typical Insecurities
14 to 20 points
Verses to ponder: 1 Peter 3:3-4
Loving your body is sometimes a struggle. For the most part, you don’t hate it, but you can get frustrated at your imperfections. Try to reflect on what you do like about your body, and remember that it is only temporary. Having a healthy body is important, but don’t forget to value your spiritual health even more.

[LIPS] Lack of Self-Confidence
21 points or more
Verses to ponder: Psalm 139:13-18
Consider talking to an older Christian woman about your insecurities. Many women have felt the way you do about their bodies at some point, and likely she’ll understand. The way you see your body isn’t the way God views you. He’s your Creator, and everything He made is good. Pray for strength to see yourself the way God does.
