POSITIVE VS. NEGATIVE BODY IMAGE

POSITIVE VS. NEGATIVE BODY IMAGE

Feeling good about your body includes…

  • Having an accurate sense of your shape.
  • Differentiating between how you look and who you are.
  • Minimizing worry about how you look, and even celebrating it instead.

Negative body image is when someone doesn’t like how their body looks.

Sometimes this is distortion or dissatisfaction.

  • What they see isn’t what others see.
  • The features they like least seem most noticeable.
  • Beauty standards make them feel bad.
  • Their bodies aren’t shaped in an “ideal” way.
