Oh my goodness, you hit it right on the head.

We are our worst critics when it comes to our bodies...others may think similar things but they'd never actually say them to us because they would be considered, at best rude, at worst total bitches or dicks... (sorry about the language)

So why do we allow ourselves to think so badly about our bodies? Is it all media/television/magazines that should be blamed?

I think the wonderful Julia Roberts said it best when she played the hooker with a heart of gold in Pretty Woman (with the wonderful Richard Gere) when she said "the bad stuff is easier to believe".
