I am comfortable with my looks. Of course, I went through my teenage years slightly insecure, but I think getting married has definitely helped. I know that my husband loves me, no matter what haircut I have or if I put on make-up or not, or gain a few pounds or not. But that doesn't mean I let go or anything, of course I still take care of myself and make myself look nice, I think it is just that my definition of "nice" has changed somewhat since I am not so concerned with how everyone sees me as much - I am more secure with who I am, I suppose.
Offtopic but, arhvic, I agree that those shows often have shallow views, but like you said, I do think that how you look can affect how you feel about yourself - if you are taking care of yourself and are confident about how you look, your presence and how you feel about yourself changes. I figure, if the TV shows can teach them how to do it and buy them a new wardrobe for free, and if they don't mind being broadcast into everyone's lounges all the better for them |
I am happy with how I look. Granted I have gained a few pounds since I got out of high school But I am still happy. I am enjoying life and my wife thinks I am good looking so that is all I need.

I have never really been happy with the way I look. I don't why, I just can't do it. I look at other people sometimes who are not very attractive and wonder how they can be so happy or content. I wish I could be happy and content with the way I look and not stress over it so much.
If you think you look good you feel good. Half of that battle I think is liking who you are.
Yup I can stand to lose 30 lbs to hit that 170 again and need to for better health. I know I look fine and mostly it is who I am that makes others think the same. Never been skinny never will be but again that why my wife likes my physical looks any how...gotta have a butt. For those who say different well I used to say honk on bobo, now I just smile and walk on.
