Do you feel pressure to look a certain way or are you too busy lovin' the skin your're in? We asked a DOLLY reader to speak up on the subject of body image.

Do you like your body?
"Yes, I'm not too skinny and not too big — just average!"
Do you think exercise is important?
"Definitely! I love dancing, going for walks and bike rides to keep fit."
What sort of things do people say about your body?
"I've had comments on my belly and that I'd look good with a belly ring, which I think is a compliment. I haven't really had any negatives."
How do you feel about celebs' bodies?
"I envy celebs bodies and try to look like them sometimes. Gwen Stefani is a role model for me — she's really healthy looking."
Do guys' opinions about your body shape matter to you?
"No, because it's all about how you feel about yourself, not what other people think."
Are your friends happy with their bodies?
"Sometimes they're unhappy when they put on extra kilos, but as long as we keep fit, it's okay. Going to the beach can be stressful, because you always want to look good there!"
