Abstract
Research shows that the way one views his/her body directly affects self-esteem. Negative views of the body may lead to disordered appearance management behaviors related to eating, exercise, substance use, and self-harm. Success in adopting healthy behav-iors may be based on stages of readiness for change: precontemplation, contemplation, preparation, action, and maintenance.
