You have to exericise, man! :) Start lifting weights, running laps, etc. You'll see a change fast. Physical exercise stimulates puberty and is needed to have it.

Doesn't lifting weights and all that stunt your growth?

It hit me pretty hard.

I have BDD, so this thread title is...almost comical to me, in a dark sort of way. I'm not just unhappy with my physical appearance, I'm incapable of being happy with my physical appearance. I've described BDD to people before as being like "every mirror is a funhouse mirror, and it's the least fun funhouse ever." I am not exaggerating when I say that I struggle to see myself as human, let alone attractive. Having the actual BDD diagnosis - a relatively recent development - helps somewhat, because now I have an official medical stamp of approval to tell myself, "when your brain and everyone else seem to be disagreeing about whether or not you're a hideous mutant hellbeast, the one that's lying to you is your brain."

So that clip hit me hard, because if I were describing myself to that sketch artist, I would have had nothing but critical comments for any feature. It is sort of nice (albeit also sad) to see, firsthand, how other women put themselves through the funhouse mirror and how other people don't see the same distorted views they do.

For the most part I am.

I wish I was proportioned differently. I'm a sliver under 6 feet tall but I have short stumpy legs and a really long body so it ends up making me have to hold my neck at about a 45' angle in a lot of cars so I don't hit the roof (or, of course, lean down throughout the whole drive). Plus off the shelf pants don't fit right. Talk about aggravating.

But other than that just the usual, I could use to lose some weight and I should probably shave and trim my beard more often than I do but...eh, haven't had to look professional in like three weeks so that doesn't matter too much.

I'd say content, could do with changing some stuff but not feeling like a necessity.

Could do with a few kilos extra perhaps too but heh, not going to happen any time a far as I am concerned. :rofl:

My mother has that. She...it took her a long time to explain it to my young mind so that I understood what she was looking at. I think she's beautiful, but I'd say that and she'd go all weepy. Confused the ever living fuck out of me. Me Da would take me aside and tell me it wasn't my fault, and say that he agreed with me. Since we moved to the states, she's received a great deal of mental health care that just didn't happen back home.

I'm sorry that you have that in your rucksack. That's some shit to carry.
