isn’t only about the way society sees people based on their physical appearance. It also recognises that judgments are usually passed based on race, gender, sexuality, and disability and it helps people understand how the media’s messages can contribute to the way people see their bodies, including how they feel about food, exercise, clothing, health, identity, and self-care.
Feelings, thoughts, and behaviours related to body image can have a major impact on your mental health and how you treat yourself. Although body positivity messages are focused on helping people feel better about themselves, it isn’t without its problems and critics.One problem is the idea that body positivity implies that people should do whatever they want in order to feel positive about how they see themselves. However, the messages passed across to people is usually the idea that thinner, fitter people are happier, healthier, and more beautiful.
It is fine to admit that you don’t necessarily love everything about your body and feel neutral or even indifferent about your body. Your worth and value lays beyond your body shape or size or in any other aspect of your appearance. Body image plays a part in self-concept, but it isn’t everything. There would be moments where maintaining a positive body image would be tough. These are moments when you feel weak, when you dislike aspects of yourself, and when you compare yourself to others.
