Body image is your attitude towards your body; how you see yourself, how you think and feel about the way you look, and how you think other people may perceive you. A healthy body image occurs when a person is able to accept, appreciate and respect his/her body. If you have a healthy body image, you will be able to appreciate your most attractive features and not dwell on the less impressive ones. No matter what your scale says, be it a complexion scale or a weighing scale, being comfortable in your own skin is up to you. It can be sometimes difficult in a society that values unrealistic images. But it's possible to retrain your brain how to think positively about your reflection and your body.
