Hi there,
Body image is a person's perception of the way their own body appears. If you had "poor body image," for example, you might think of yourself as overweight or unattractive. This can have serious consequences, as poor body image can lead to eating disorders and depression. Strategies to improve your body image can include anything from a healthy regimen of diet and exercise to consulting with a therapist or counselor. Often, adolescents struggle with poor body image as they get used to their developing bodies, and this will subside as they grow and mature into themselves.
Hope this helps!
