I'm certainly not delighted by what I see in the mirror, but since I am extremely shy and introverted it doesn't bother me much. Only few people see me on a regular basis anyway.

Being very underweight doesn't make it better. I'm glad our hope is not in this life :)

I thought it would be interesting to make a thread asking if posters here are satisfied with their physical appearance. Do you need to lose/gain weight? Do you like what you see in the mirror? Are you balding? Dealing with aging?

Of course, keep this thread CF appropriate.

Id like to have been at least 5 ft tall.
Like 160 cm even.

I haven't been happy with my appearance since High School . I got my jaw busted in a rough housing accident with my dad and two brothers. It was bad enough that I couldn't eat for several days because I couldn't open my mouth. When I complained about the pain my dad said "if you don't shut up I'll give you something to cry about". Which is dad speak for " shut up or you will get a beating "

I sucked it up and eventually it healed but not properly. My jaw slid back and now I have a really bad overbite and it is very slightly to one side. I saw an oral surgeon and this was back in the 80s, he said it would cost $4,000 or more to repair my jaw. since I don't have that kind of $$$ I simply have to live with it.

Now that I'm in my late 60s I do not care that much anymore tbh. My husband certainly doesn't care about it.

It's a difficult time of year to ask that question in the northern climes. Between dry air and lack of sunshine, skin/hair integrity goes downhill. Have hope, all. Walks in the spring sunshine should at least make you feel better, and likely look better as well.
Can I ask what motivated your question?

my appearance was what attracted husband to me
I asked him once after we'd been married a while

here I thought it was my personality, lol
was surprised by his answer because he had a super beautiful girlfriend before me & I didn't come close to her
however, I was super skinny so maybe that was it

I have large features on my face, big ears, eyes, nose, etc. It bothered me as a child but as an adult it was less and less something I gave thought to plus I think I have grown into them a bit more. Now at 42 I'm am comfortable with who I am and even given the opportunity I have no desire to change. I never really had a weight problem but that's not to say I don't have weight/fitness goals it's not a insecurity of mine and I'm happy in my skin.

I'm not complaining about my appearance and I wouldn't change anything about my facial features.

The sad years of low self esteem due to my weight are now behind me.

So for now, I can't wait to reach my desired hair length (hip length) + a little upgrade of my wardrobe and I should be fine.
