A poor body image means that you wish your body was differently shaped than the body you observe when you look in the mirror. To some people, this can lead to a change in eating behavior. You can have a poor body image (think you are ugly while you are not) but never develop an eating "disorder". But some people get too obsessed with changing their body. So obsessed even that it gets in their way of every-day life and it's suddenly called a disorder.
