Are you happy with the way you look?

I have NEVER liked the way I look, Too short, too plump no matter what diet I try....redheaded and freckled....bleck!!

But the older I get, the more I realize that the 20-something me really wasn't all that bad at all..........


And Chris, I hate to break it to you, but you really ARE a hottie!
 
I'd have to say not really, but not a whole lot I can do about it. I've gained weight over the past couple years and would love to lose about 25 lbs. I have psoriasis on my legs which keeps me in jeans all summer long, and I'm feeling like I look my age more now then I ever have.
 
I think being comfortable with yourself is the hottest thing in the world with Chris being the exception...he's just hot, lol I was a scrawny toeheaded girl until about 9 when all the sudden my tiny frame began growing boobs. By the time I was 12 I was maybe 80lbs. with a 32DD bra size and hated my body. I wore big shirts, wouldn't go swimming, and wanted a breast reduction. I asked for one every year for christmas and my birthdays but my family laughed it off until I was 16 and still feeling the same way. However we could not find a doctor willing to do it and by then I was an E cup and 105lbs. looking like my boobs were going to pull me down. One doctor actually laughed and said sweetie one day your going to love those- I wanted to smack him. My goal was not to be a porn star afterall I just wanted to be proportionate. I never thought I was ugly I was just embarrased by my chest, ick of others thinking I had a boob job, and done with men that made the most disgusting comment when I walked by. By college I had finally just decided this was my body- skiny and breasty but then a wonderful thing happened. When I had my daughter my breasts shrank down to a D cup after breastfeeding yay!!!! I can wear shirts that fit me now without my boobs spilling out, I can sleep on my stomach, and wear a bathing suit without looking like a stripper. I know this sounds strange, but yes at one time my boobs could bring me to tears.

I think everyone has that one thing they may change, but when it comes down to it we were born this way and embrassing whatever that trait is is all we can do. Maybe all those doctors were right afterall because i am happy with the way I look and was even before breatfeeding gave me my greatest wish.

I have a mad hippy mop for hair. It's frizzy and wavy and long but it sits just fine.

Ditto to the non-narcissism. I also have frizzy wavy hair, although with slight curl in it so I actually have to brush mine or else I will get painful dread locks. I don't style or use a blow dryer either, just shower and go. I hate spending any length of time on my hair.
 
Danielle, you're really lucky that you caught Wade on a good day! ;)

All this talk about looks is interesting to me. There's so much focus on outside appearance. When I was younger, I wasn't bad looking. I guess I took things for granted, though. In 1988 I was in a fire where a gas oven exploded around me. My hands were badly burned along with my face, neck eyes and scalp. I literally didn't grow hair for six months and was afraid I never would again. My friends remained my friends, and life went on. Aside from occasionally scaring small children, I realized that my life really wasn't that different, but I did learn that outside appearance wasn't nearly as important as I previously thought. It was a turning point for me. Today I don't have a single scar on the outside. I have many many scars on the inside, but I'd go through every painful experience again to be who I am at this very moment.

All together now....

I think everyone has a couple little things they would like to change about themselves. Overall I am happy with my appearance but I suffer from depression and sometimes have days where I feel too ugly to leave the house. I tell myself its the depression, try things to outsmart it and almost always overcome it in a matter of hours. The downside of this is I constantly seek validation by flirting, getting phone numbers and generally hitting on every attractive woman I meet. I usually have it under control with medication but occasionally I will forget a day or 2 and I notice an unusual sadness and then I am extra flirty and I have to count pills and almost every time I missed a few. It sucks but I know there are people who have depression with much worse symptoms, some people even get suicidal so i have to see the glass as half full.
 
You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to LBoz again

Excellent post! I think most of us would have a totally different outlook on what is important "looks wise" if we had some sort of accident happen to us. Thanks for pointing out what truly is important. Family and friends!

I have never seen that pic before either DAYYUM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How YOU doing ;)
I really really need to stop looking at pictures of Chris ;) Really!
 
I never really thought about it....

I played football from the 1st grade and had a few camp visits in the NFL. I'm a big guy. I lifted weights from the age of 15 until I was 39. I regret stopping. I really gained weight and like some others my metabolism changes and it is hard to get the weight off now.
I don't care what others think about my looks. But I need to get back in shape for my new daughter so I can be around for her in 20 years.

I am one of these girls who rolls out of bed in the morning without a care in the world. I have a mad hippy mop for hair. It's frizzy and wavy and long but it sits just fine. I can't remember the last time I used a brush, fingers all the way!

I am slightly overweight. I have stretch marks from when I was clinically obese. I got myself in shape and lost over 3 stone in the last 2 years. I eat crap, drink beer with the boys and don't exercise much at all. But my weight is stable and I am happy enough.

Looks really do mean nothing to me....

Hey I'm not a stalker! Just appreciative ;)

I will say that being in healthcare is one of the best things to happen to a person who doesn't care what they look like. You can wear scrubs 24/7, and no one will ever notice a thing.

Elle, I totally empathize with you. Ever since hubby and I got together, comfort has been my worst enemy. My weight has fluctuated more than the desert sands. The death of Sadar was really the nail in the coffin for my weight, since Iwasn't really able to ride or compete much. Sure I could take the others out, but its not the same. Since I've started training Smokey, I've noticed some muscles waking up.

So I'm a squinty-eyed, freckled, chubby girl with a red poodle attached to my head in scrubs all the time. So basically I'm like a medical female version of carrot top. Hubby thinks I'm pretty. I think he's insane, but then again, thats one of the reasons I married him.

Danielle, just look at it this way: you will have the strongest back of anyone you know!

Love your attitude Elle.. And you are beautiful, so no worries are needed on your part.. I have stretch marks and im over weight too. But I lost weight from where I used to be. I need to get in shape and lose a bit more. But thats for my own personal reasons. Not because I care how I look.. I just wanna be healthier so I am not broken down when I get old. I miss ya Elle:)
 
No, Chris shares Steph with me...but that's a whole loooong dyk story for another campfire session. :laugh:
