What is body image?

Your body image is how and what you think and feel about your body. It includes the picture of your body that you have in your mind, which might or might not match your body’s actual shape and size.

A positive or healthy body image is feeling happy and satisfied with your body, as well as being comfortable with and accepting the way you look. 

A negative or unhealthy body image is feeling unhappy with the way you look. People who feel like this often want to change their body size or shape.
