THE average Australian woman worries about the size and shape of her body every 15 minutes — more often than men think about sex.
Only 3 per cent say they are happy with what they've got, with 80 per cent believing their "whole life" would improve if they were more body beautiful.
The survey of more than 2000 women, published today in New Woman magazine, found most wished they were 15 kilograms slimmer.
The average woman questioned weighed 70 kilograms and was 169 centimetres tall. But most believed former Miss Universe Jennifer Hawkins, who is 62 kilograms and 180 centimetres, to be the ideal woman.
Dissecting their body parts, 45 per cent said they had large thighs, 34 per cent judged their arms as "chunky" and 42 per cent said they had "muffin tops", a roll of fat over their waistband. Half the respondents were happy with their breasts.
One-third admitted to using some kind of slimming pills, and half said they had skipped meals to lose weight. Twenty-five per cent of women from Sydney and Canberra let their size spoil their sex life. But 66 per cent of Darwin and Melbourne women said it was not an issue.
