From what I understand it's all about what they see in the mirror. It has more to do with what they perceive as their own body image, even though this view is influenced by what they see in various media. It comes down to a person standing naked in the bathroom and feeling disgusted by what they see of themselves. That happens even with no one else around.

I think what he's saying is without magazines and stuff to compare yourself too, you wouldn't have any reason to think anything you look like is ugly...

I argue that many times such issues are caused by a chemical imbalance which manifest theirselves in other ways. For example, if it wasn't one part of her body image it would be another... If the chemicals are out of whack, a lot of times the thoughts are just justification...
