I have had a bad body image all my life and now Im 41 and over weight I look back now and see that I had a good body and I was pretty and I wasted alot of years beating myself up about how I looked. I guess what Im saying is be happy with how you look get help if you have to so you dont waste alot of years with a bad self image like I have. Listen to your boyfriend and just know you are beautiful inside and out.

I know what it's like, but you must not let yourself go that down, ok?

appearances are not as important as you think. the more you obsess about how you look, the more you neglect other aspects of your life that make you attractive and interesting to others.

one's obsession with their appearance is not only harmfull to their health, but becomes un-attractive to others. a person who is sattisfied with who they are doesn't have to be outwardly beautiful, yet will have a certain glow about them that attracts people.

given the choice between dating a boring cover girl or someone normal and alive i'll go for normal and alive. the beauty that is skin deep wears out real fast... once the novelty wears out, you're done. while a person's inner beauty only becomes more and more appealing with time.

instead wasting time on putting yourself down, find something to love and be gratefull for what you are given.

Thanks guys for your help. Your right its the inner beauty that makes us beatifull!!
