Body image refers to an individual's subjective impression, thoughts, feelings, and attitudes toward their own physical appearance and total body. It includes how one perceives oneself, their level of contentment with their body, and the emotions associated with that perception. Body image is more than just one's physical appearance; it also includes one's total self-esteem and self-worth, which can be heavily influenced by society conventions, cultural variables, media depictions, and personal experiences.

These depictions contribute to unrealistic beauty standards, which can lead to body dissatisfaction and a low self-esteem.  3.
