The results from the body image survey that I posted a few weeks back are below. Apologies for the poor formatting. Before I have B, I would have put this in a sleek PowerPoint presentation. These days, I am lucky to get the results out at all!
I have comments on the results, which I am not going to post here, but in a different post. I also have updates to my "CrossFit causing relationship issues saga" which I will also post about separately.
