Body image is how you see yourself when you look in the mirror or when you picture yourself in your mind. It includes what you believe about your own appearance. It's important to remember that everyone is different, and what we see in magazines or on TV isn't always real. Developing a healthy body image means liking and accepting yourself for who you are, regardless of your size, shape, or any perceived flaws. A positive body image contributes significantly to overall well-being and self-esteem.
