Are you happy with your physical appearance?

[The Emerald Dawn]

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.

That's an awfully capacious assumption.

I cycle everywhere.

1v1 me bro i'll wreck you.

DO YOU EVEN LIFT?!

[Maraque]

A lot more than a couple years ago. I went on a mission to lose weight, and lost 86 lbs.

Now I need to lose fat and gain muscle for that lean and trim look.

[Ayreonia]

Short is attractive. You shouldn't want to be tall.


I'm 5'5'' and entirely satisfied with that height.
Edit: had a boyfriend jealous of my 5'5'' height because he wanted to be short too.

I'm 3'5". Y'all are tall.

Yeah, but you cheat.

[Ibwa]

o.o

I may have been exaggerated a bit... I mostly just want luscious, flowing facial hair. What else is puberty good for?

an excuse for suspicius behavior >.> <.<

[Immoren]

I'd need to lose some weight.
I'd also want a nice pair of boobs and sexy hour glass figure and. ;_;

[New Rayhaven]

I happen to love myself very much, thank you.

[Fine Fellows]

I think I look alright. For a fatass. Could stand to lose about 30 kg, get a hair cut, and be a bit less pale.

Yeah, but you cheat.

Watch out for the hobbitses, they are tricksy.

I would recommend some light lifting then. Mostly just to work the non-cycling involved muscles.

Could help more than just cycling.

Nothing really. The facial hair is quite a downside having to shave it. I would have it permanently removed if I could.

If I don't cut my hair regularly I start to get an afro. It's...odd.

[Mike the Progressive]

Wait...what?

[Chestaan]

Not really. In fact, I can't ever remember being happy with how I looked. Even as a child I wasn't happy with how I looked. I look more like a girl than a boy but I still won't cut my hair, even though I probably should. Also, being only 8 stone doesn't help.

[Nailed to the Perch]

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.

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.

Thanks. It's a weird disorder in a lot of ways, because I can be a smart, rational person with obvious evidence that the way I feel about my appearance doesn't make any sense, and it just...doesn't even make a dent a lot of the time. Yesterday had a good example - I tried on a Size 2 dress at a store. It fit well. I looked at myself in the mirror, wearing this Size 2 dress, and thought, "This fits well, but ugh, I'm so ENORMOUSLY FAT." And I swear I really LOOKED fat in that mirror, even as I knew I was fitting without difficulty into a very small garment that no one who met any sane definition of "fat" could plausibly wear. Any other person wearing that same dress would have made me laugh if they told me they looked fat - and yet, I was somehow the world's only morbidly obese Size 2. It's bizarre and exhausting.

Ah, bebeh. The other, other waht meat.
