What is body image? There are so many different ways we could describe body image but I think of it as the mental picture you have of your body, which includes thoughts, feelings, attitudes and beliefs toward the body. Body image is influenced by so many factors including systemic oppression (the culture telling you thin is best and fat is bad), your biology, your history, your values, and so on.
