that said, no i don't think most women or men in general have healthy body images. when even supermodels on magazine covers are photoshopped, the ideal placed before us is not even attainable for those who are pictured.

as for feminism, i'm not so naive to say that anyone who wants to be a feminist is one, but generally speaking those who consider themselves feminists or who support equality for women and empowerment that's indistinguishable from that of men, i think are supporting feminism.
