Body image is how you think about, feel about, see and judge your body. What beliefs do you have about yourself based on the way your body looks? Our beliefs and attitudes about our body shape, weight and size can affect the way we behave, including our reactions to situations.
The way we think and feel about our bodies exists on a spectrum and changes over time. Some people develop upsetting thoughts about food, exercise and body shape that affect the way they behave. In some cases, these thoughts lead to a type of mental illness called an eating disorder.
