I think I have a very pretty face -- nice eyes, especially. But I HATE my size. I could definitely stand to lose about 20 pounds, and 30-40 would make me ecstatic. I know I couldn't keep off that much, though, so I don't even try to lose that much. I had lost quite a bit of weight just before I got pregnant with my son, but have never been able to get that low again. He's almost 14 now, so I can't really blame this on "baby fat", now, can I? I do like my height -- I'm 5'7", so at least I can carry my weight fairly well, but I won't wear sleeveless or very short-sleeved shirts (fat arms), and shorts are right out. I hate to be seen in a bathing suit. I feel like I'm starting to look like the pictures of my great-great grandmothers that I've seen.
I know God loves me like I am. I know I'm beautiful to Him. I just can't seem to translate that to what I perceive of myself. The culture, even though I try not to buy into it, has totally slaughtered the whole idea that it's not the outside that matters.
