Do you like the way you look? I don't!!

We've all got bits we don't like!! and I agree that it's easy to focus on one thing and become obsessed about it. I personally hated my teeth and had them cosmetically improved about 10 years ago. I was very pleased with the results and have never regretted having them done. However, I don't think I could resort to surgery ... although come to mention it, my boobs could do with a bit of a lift

Yes last time I sent my passport photo to someone to sign the back they asked if I had joined the Bader-Meinhof!

Lou you are obv gorgeous!

Well you are all lovely for saying so, but like I said, it's what I see that causes problems. I feel a bit uncomfortable talking about myself now, so am going to bow out of this one

I spent a lot of my life not liking what I looked like at all. These days I've decided I look pretty good. Well, except for the days when I feel like Knackered Middle Aged Mum. Which is usually. But you know what I mean.

Lou you mustn't feel like that it's not right. Blimey some people really are ugly, you should feel sorry for them rather than obsessing about your own perfectly good looks.

I don't mean to sound horrid - you really do look great and if you are so paranoid about it then there is a problem there.

No i don't. I also have a thing about one eye being smaller than the other.

Rationally i know i'm not ugly, and was quite popular with the lads at school, and didn't really feel ugly then at all, but now i feel fat, frumpy, and ugly.

Must be motherhood.

Oh and i agree that Lou is lovley looking

Blimey, if I start writing about the bits I don't like I'll be here all day....
So to answer the question in the thread title. No.

I think I would be happy with myself if I managed to lose (&$&$*% pounds and could tone up. Basically go back to how I looked about 15 years ago

Actually Galaxy when I met you I felt pretty intimidated that you were that lovely!!

I hate my nose but will be having it liposculpted and the bone shaven down once DS is out of my body!!

Does that put you off??

I am always on a downer about the way I look (and feel) nowadays. I felt a bit better at the start of the year when I lost a stone or more, but I have put at least half of that back on again - no will power.

I am pretty short at 5 feet,
I need to lose at least another stone,
my finger nails are horrid (again, no will power),
I have dry skin on arms, feet and scalp (scalp makes me look like I have dandruff bad but it is psorasis)
My face is too round and I have dimples and freckles like a child(!)
I don't like my side profile of my face at all - feel my nose and chin are too prominent
And I hate my voice - too high and not powerful enough
I hate the fact that my heart goes funny sometimes too and that there is nothing I can do about it

TBH, I could go on and on. I know some I could sort out and the weight issue I have to sort again! I just need more will power - argh!!! The rest I have to deal with and put up with.

Luckily my family have no problems with me at all

Mind you I have seen some of the pictures on that website - pupils have shown me it before - and I guess I will be okay!!! God, I'm not that bad surely?!? Even I don't think that. LOL!

want to see what lou looks like now - how do I get to the mods page?

taramac - click on link above for moderators - 3rd across from Other stuff.

Galaxy - you are gorgeous, thought so as soon as I met you and didn't think there was anything at all 'wonky' about you!!!

lou - just stop it - how much do I have to flatter you!!! Being absolutely truthful - you are gorgeous and I hope I look as good as that when I'm your age.

spacey - same to you, I wasn't joking or lying at all when I said you're a pair of gorgeous foxes - now get over yourselves!!!

Now me on the other hand...... (have just stoppped looking in mirrors, solves everything!!)

I know its all relative but lou you are really pretty - very serene(even with 4 kids!!) and graceful looking!! Its nice putting faces to some of your names as well - some of you dont look like I thought you would!

taramac - I know what you mean about people looking different to you'd imagine. I never imagine anyone's appearance right in advance of seeing them (in person or photo) at all.

not happy with looks at the moment. have decided i need

• tooth bleaching and a little straightening
• either (a) botox or (b) microdermabrasion, will ask cosmetic person to advise
• lose however many stone it is to get me back to a size 12
• grow hair long (in progress) and have subtle highlights
• give birth
• get rid of horrid rough, rindy feet when can reach them again
• clear up disgusting red rimmed pussy eye infection which is making me look like medieval beggar
• new elegant sexy wardrobe.

sigh.

btw, have met the countess and she is not 2 stone overweight! lordy!

agree, lou looks fab on her moderator picture.

TBH, I am reasonably happy with my looks. I wish I had bigger boobs (only an A cup, boo hoo), but don't mind being only 5'2" or having a high voice, wonky teeth and drab coloured hair. Having said that, it really doesn't matter, living where I do, and I know that I was more self-conscious when I lived in Yorkshire and London, although that was more to do with my complete lack of fashion sense!!

I would like to lose a bit more weight (always feel like this even when I was skinny - have trouble seeing it like others have said)

I HATE what pregnancy/childbirth/breastfeeding have done to my boobs and stomach - wouldnt rule out boob job/tummy tuck

I hate my naturally curly hair and spend forever with GHDs straightening

I think Im prone to a double chin

Hate my thick eyebrows and spend forever getting them waxed into shape

Errrm Im also very pale

My sister has really issues with her appearance and self esteem - she cant look at a photo of herself and wont look in the mirror and she is really stunning - its all about how you feel inside IMO

No you are right SQ, it's more like 3 stone!!!

I have a chin like Desperate Dan that extends out 3inches when I laugh.
My nose is odd to say the least.
I have a gap between my two front teeth.
I have a wee mole and a wee red spot on my face, which I dont mind, but children always go "whatssat".
Oh and im still spotty at 25.
And I dont look like anyone else ive ever seen before, no resemblesnce to either of my parents, but I no longer give a shit.
I cant change my face, I have a big pair of boobs, and look like a porn star from the neck down, I have 2 gorgeous kids and im healthy and im so busy I dont have time anymore to worry about it.
