What does positive body image mean?

A healthy body image means you feel comfortable in your body and you feel good about the way you look. This includes what you think and feel about your appearance and how you judge your own self-worth.
In the world that we live in, obsessing over our bodies and appearance has become a daily habit. People have lost sight of what it is to embrace themselves just as they are because the culture is so fixated on the image of the ideal body. They constantly want to develop themselves and strive to resemble either a Calvin Klein man or a Victoria Secrets model.

An example of body positivity is to look in the mirror and say out loud all of the things you like about your physique. It's probable to say, "I love the way my arms look in this shirt," or, "While my tummy isn't flat, it is still beautiful."
