It has been argued that body image occurs as a cognitive process, and has to do with how a person feels or their disposition about themselves in their mind; which is related to their body posture and also expressive of an action or emotion (McCabe et al, 2007). Disturbed feelings of oneself are shown through distorted perception of body size. Attitudinal components on the other hand show the way we feel about our bodies, and when disturbed, leads to differences between one‘s ideal and actual body (McCabe et al, 2007)
