A. “My doctor said I am obese, but I kind of knew that.” B. “My doctor said I am at my ideal weight, but I always feel fat.” C. “My doctor said I am underweight, but I had the flu recently.” D. “My doctor says I am a few pounds overweight, but I will exercise more.”

Respuesta :

The answer is letter B.

The correct answer is B. “My doctor said I am at my ideal weight, but I always feel fat.”

Explanation:

An unhealthy or distorted body image occurs as individuals have an unrealistic negative perception of their bodies such as feeling they are too thin or fat even if they have a healthy weight and normal body image. This distorted perception is often related to body dysmorphic disorder in which individuals focus on their physical flaws, and also it can lead to different eating disorders.

According to this, the quote that shows the speaker may have an unhealthy body is B because, in this, the speaker expresses a distorted negative image as he/she feels fat even a doctor or professional says his/her weight is ideal, which is a common behavior if people have an unhealthy body image.
