Abstract: Starting from Jacques Lacan's theory, based on Hegel's philosophy, proposing that the psychic apparatus works from three fundamental registers: Real, Symbolic and Imaginary. Focusing on the recording of the Imaginary, highlighting the formation of self in the mirror stage, where the child builds his image referenced by the other. Seeking to understand the issues linked to the search for the ideal body, using participant observation and questionnaires applied to bodybuilders. With the analysis of Bardin's data, we obtained varied results indicating that the practice of bodybuilding is mainly motivated by the search for aesthetics and is influenced by the perception of others. The analysis based on Lacanian theory reveals that body image makes the distinction between the self and the external world, becoming a key element in the search for self-esteem. The concept of “heteroesteem” is proposed as an alternative to the emphasis on “self-esteem”, recognizing the importance of the Other in the formation of the image of the Self.
