My Body


Most of us struggle with body acceptance but MyBody can help you become more 'real' with yourself on body issues. Use this page to explore ways to accept and nurture the incredible body you have.

What is Body Image?
How you see or picture yourself.
How you feel others perceive you.
What you believe about your physical appearance.
How you feel about your body.
How you feel in your body.

A healthy self image is:
Feeling "at home" in your body. It's part of who you are. You know how to take care of yourself. You feel energetic and can do the things you want to do. You resist the pressure to strive for the "perfect" body by finding more meaningful and lasting ways to feel good about yourself.
