"Body image" is the way that someone perceives their body and assumes that others perceive them. This image is often affected by family, friends, social pressure and the media.

Approximately 91% of women are unhappy with their bodies and resort to dieting to achieve their ideal body shape. Realistically, only 5% of women naturally possess the body type often portrayed in American media.

The Alliance for Eating Disorder Awareness reports that between 2.4 and 3.6 million men suffer from eating disorders today. 

A 2016 survey on male body image found that 20 percent to 40 percent of men were unhappy with some aspect of their looks, including physical appearance, weight, and muscle size and tone.
