Body Image Issues
A negative body image is a distorted perception of your shape - or body parts. You might be convinced that only other people are attractive and that your body size or shape is a source of personal failure. You might feel uncomfortable, ashamed, self-conscious, and anxious in your own skin. A positive body image is an important piece in the recovery of eating concerns. Positive body image is when:
- You see your body as it really is.
- You accept and appreciate your body shape and understand that a person’s physical appearance has little to do with his or her value as a person.
- You don’t spend and unreasonable amount of time worrying about the food you eat or what the scale says.
- You feel comfortable in your body.
