Do you think you are pretty?

[J-A-N-E]

Do you consider yourself pretty? Physically.

Are you happy with the way you look? Why or why not?

[haleysmom]

Recently, no. I have been feeling like crap and tired and my face is breaking out (all from the pregnancy) and I'm very unhappy with my hair right now.

Normally I usually feel pretty.

I've found the better I feel physically (energy/pain level/etc.) the prettier I feel.

[KerryS]

Generally yes. Currently, no because I'm 30 lbs. overweight and don't have any clothes that fit me besides stuff that's totally unflattering.

[curlygirl71]

Not really. I think i am in good shape, especially after four kids. I hate my curly hair and the bag under my eyes.
I can look presentable because I think I know how to dress well.

[Now_serving_number4]

not at all

nope, I'm to fat, my face is to long and my eyes are to small. My hair also sucks. My teeth are stained ( ex smoker ) and I have no chin. My nose is to big, my cheek bones to high.


I know it's bad to say these things about ones self but hey, you asked

[BeachMama]

I think I clean up nice.

I'm very average looking, but I think with nice clothes, hair, and makeup I can look pretty. Or at least cute.

[babyapplejack]

Generally yes. Currently, no because I'm 30 lbs. overweight and don't have any clothes that fit me besides stuff that's totally unflattering.

This is exactly the way I feel and dress due to being about 30lbs overweight from my 2 pregnancies. I am currently 175lbs and want to lose 30lbs I am also 5"6 and I just don't like what I see.

[TexasMama]

Do you consider yourself pretty? Physically. No. I should though, I know I have attractive features. I try not to think about it most days.

Are you happy with the way you look? Why or why not? No, I'm obese. I have always had issues with self-image though, even when I was super skinny.

[just_carcar]

Yes, overall. Like everyone, I have my days... but mostly I think I'm hawt. :P

[alejorge]

I think I am average. I do not like my body at all. I hate that I have cellulite all over my legs and tooshie. My belly has a pouch from having the kids and I just don't like it. And my teeth are yellow. I don't smoke or drink a lot of caffeine but my teeth are still yellow.

[Justicedog]

Do you consider yourself pretty? Physically.

No, even without being obese, I'm not pretty. I'm average. Now, my goal is to just not be ugly.

Are you happy with the way you look? Why or why not?

Nope. See above.

[leosmommy]

I don't think I am ugly, but pregnancy pounds have got me down. I know they shouldn't but they do.

[babymakes4]

Right now no. I am begining to think the only part of me that looks pregnant is my ASS!

[whitnessforhim]

Normal yes, I think I'm very pretty. Once I get rid of these huge boobs and this extra 10lbs from pregnancy I think I'll be pretty again. Until then, I feel like a ugly chunkster!

[HummingBird]

I still 'feel' pretty and cute, like I did when I was early-mid 20s. But then I look in the mirror and say "when the hell did I start to look so much like my mom!??!!?"

I feel skinnier then I really am too. Whenever I see a pic of me, I think gosh I'm fat but I'm not to bad. I'll be happy to take off about 10-15 pounds.

All that matters to me is how I feel and dh says I'm skinny and hot so that makes me feel good :)

[Hennyetta]

sometimes I kind of like what I see in the mirror, but I'm not what other people would call pretty. I'm cute.

I'm cutER when I'm not almost 90 lbs overweight though.

[steelady]

Yes, i do think I am pretty. Not going to stop traffic, but attractive.

No, I'm not happy with the way I look, but I'm content enough to not really change anything.

I do feel I aged very well.

[Chib]

I think I'm average. I'm obese right now, which really detracts from my overall appearance, and I just can't seem to get the weight off when I try. Pre-pregnancy I had a very attractive figure, but I had a fat face that wasn't all that great.

C'est la vie! I've got other great attributes.

[Funmommy]

Some days I feel pretty and some days I don't
I'm about 90lbs overweight, Desperately need a hair cut, I'm breaking out with acne and I have a major case of excema right now ... pretty right now is not in my vocabulary :(
My face (when not broken out and with a nice haircut & makeup) I feel is pretty
Now if the rest of me would catch up :p

Funmommy

[jaelwoman]

I do feel I aged very well.

I feel as above. Most people don't guess that I am in my 40's.

I don't think I am pretty, never really have, but it's never stopped me from liking myself either.

:p

[crissyy]

I'm more "cute" than pretty. I am always told that I look far younger than my age (28). I look better when I'm closer to my goal weight. I'm about 50 lbs over now. I also think that I feel prettier when I take the time to look that way.

Confidence matters, too. You can take a woman that is average looking or not considered "pretty" and give her confidence and it makes a world of difference in her outward appearance.

[Miamimama]

Yes I do. I may not be magazine thin or model perfect but yes I am pretty. I am also happy with myself. Sure I can improve things and my weight could be lower but who cares.
I think overall happiness helps with outward looking happiness.

[AuLait]

I can be pretty. I can also easily be butt-ugly. I would feel more pretty more often if I could drop 30 lbs.

[Earthmama]

I do feel pretty. Some days even better. Though, uf I'm tired, it shows faster now than it has in the past.
I've been taking care of my skin, though, and I have been blessed with the ability to slim down really quickly. I'm looking forward to my skin tightening again.

But the beauty I most value is whatever my son sees in the middle of a day without makeup or fresh clothes, when he tilts his head to the side with a dreamy look on his face & says, "You pretty, Mom."

[AuLait]

I wish fat was suddenly considered attractive. It would be soooo much easier on lazy me.

srsly.

(use of this term may have just lowered my IQ by 60 points)

[HammBugga]

Sometimes.

[Missymoo]

Yes I do. I may not be magazine thin or model perfect but yes I am pretty. I am also happy with myself. Sure I can improve things and my weight could be lower but who cares.
I think overall happiness helps with outward looking happiness.

This exactly, word for word.

[jessiehannan]

I really don't think about it much. I would guess I am pretty, judging by the attention I seem to attract. I could use work, but since I know I don't want to put the effort into it, I can't complain. I am fairly happy with myself.

[cc1003]

Yes, although I can't seem to lose my last ten pre-pregnancy pounds. Damn those ten pounds. And I wish my boobs were back to their original small size. But other than that, yes, I think I'm pretty.

[caryn]

I think therefore I am :)
I could lose a good 40-50 lbs. I was always painfully thin growing up - when I lost my daughter (26 weeks mis - in between ds #1 and #2) I kept on the extra weight so as not to "lose her" or so I am told - does that make sense?
I think I am pretty when I am happy - and have some form of a tan! The minute pms strikes or salt hits my diet, my cheeks inflate like chipmunks, multiple chins pop up, and voila! Oompa loompa!

[Joyto5]

Yes, I think I am very pretty. Perfect? No. Pretty as in being myself and not trying to be who I'm not? Yes.

It took me a long time to get some programing my X-SF and his children did and said to me when I was young, out of my head, but I feel it's another triumph I've over come from my childhood!

[RaisingThemLeft]

Yes, I think I am pretty. I'm prettier when I'm not overweight.

[TuetonicWillow]

I'm just very well preserved. I take after my dad's side and we age very well. My father still easily passes for early 40s. I still easily pass for late 20s.

It makes me prettier than most women my age. That's about it.

[WalkingTittyBar]

Do you consider yourself pretty? Physically.

Are you happy with the way you look? Why or why not?


I consider myself pretty, but moreso in the inside. It feels really weird to say that about myself though.

I used to feel horrible about the way I look most of the time. I mean, really bad. I would stare into the mirror some days and pick apart every flaw I had. I have to say, I have not done that one time since I had my tummy tuck. Now I feel so much better about myself in every way possible.

[QuiltyConscience]

I think I'm allright, and DH thinks I'm hot, so I'll go with it.

I am working on losing a little more weight.

[Amberry]

Yes, I do.

I am starting to feel a little better with the whole pregnancy, moving, exhausted, overworked thing, and the better that I feel, the better that I think it comes out.

Now I am just stuck between the tightish regular clothes and maternity clothes that hang on me.

[TuetonicWillow]

Amberry, I had no idea you were pregnant.

Congrats!

[TuetonicWillow]

PS- I think the times in my life I felt the least pretty was 4-6 momths pregnant. Just big enough to not fit into my normal clothes but not big enough for maternity. I just felt bloated and fat.

[SarahFae]

Not really, sometimes when I get all dressed up I feel kind of pretty. I hate my acne, but I'm working on a new treatment, which seems to be working. My hair has major split ends, so I'm getting it cut before I go back to school. The stretch marks on my arms make me limit what I wear, which I guess is okay, because it gives me more motivation to hide my fat arms.

I hate my physical shape because as an ex-anorexic-and-bulimic, the fact that I gained 100 lbs during my pregnancy kills me. Being a mother is my anti-eating-disorder, so I just eat healthily. But hey, I'm down 30 lbs and even my "skinny" (my definition is jeans that are one size too small) jeans are getting a little bit loose. :)

[Amberry]

That is what I was just going to say, except I am only 11 weeks.

The clothes still technically fit, technically.

Right now I just have a gut and feel like a drank a beer too many, just one. Not enough to be drunk and happy, but just the right amount to have to unbutton my pants and want to go to sleep and speak smartassness when it may not be necessary.

I feel horrid even thinking of complaining as it took me 2 years to get pregnant and I wouldn't change it for anything in the world. But then that whole smartassness even when not necessary thing comes up again. It's, like, not controllable.

[firewife]

No, not at all.

The only thing I like about my apperance is the color of my eyes and color of my hair.

I am athletic, spend most of my days playing softball, but I can't shake the 30 lbs that I still have from dd2. I'm 6 feet tall and have been blessed with my mother's thighs. Muscular but big still no rear end.

I have since K been picked on about my height and weight that there is no way that I could ever feel good about myself.

[xobehs]

I don't think I am pretty per-say but I am really confident with my looks.

I know I am way late, but congratulations to you! H&H 9

[Crabbie]

yup

[pawprint]

Yes. Although it's only been the last maybe 7 years that I've been convinced of this.

[nikkifaith]

I do.

[Tiffearni]

No.

No, I don't really think I'm very attractive at all. I used think I was better looking when I was younger and thinner, but even then I don't think I was breath taking or anything. I think I've always been more of a plain jane. I think my features are more masculine which bugs me. I have big butt and little boobs, now I've got about 40 extra lbs which just makes things worse. I feel like I look much older than I am. I'm so unhealthy right now that my skin looks like crap. Like tonight for instance, my whole lower half of my face has just exploded with painful zits. They don't usually get this bad, so tonight I feel a little worse than usual.


You know what's weird is that I actually got hit on tonight which just felt so weird to me cause I feel like I looked worse tonight than I usually do and I just didn't know how to react. I'm not used to getting hit on around here. I used to get hit on all the time when I was younger, but I always blamed it all hormonal guys, that it wasn't any deeper than hormones period. Is that bad?

Anyway. Sorry, I feel pretty shitty tonight. I'm pretty upset with DH tonight also. He makes me feel so shitty about myself. It seems like ever since I moved here and married him that my looks have just gone down hill and I don't really know how to fix it cause it's just so depressing, boring and lonely here. ugh.


Sorry for the major vent. *sigh* Sorry.

[Beautifuldisaster2003]

Yes, I do.

I am starting to feel a little better with the whole pregnancy, moving, exhausted, overworked thing, and the better that I feel, the better that I think it comes out.

i had no idea! congrats :pregnant::loljumping:

[Beautifuldisaster2003]

no i dont, i have never felt that i was.

[Aeonkat]

I think I can be attractive. I am ok with my looks. My body, I am not so happy with. I want to lose 15 lbs. I want to get my stomach fixed too but that is far off. I have a nice ass though and thin legs, even though they annoy me (look like sticks when I wear certain skirts). My face is relatively clear, but my chest is broken out for some reason.

I think my overall appearance is average.

[Mary_Mary]

Yes, I actually do think I'm pretty.

I'm even happy with my weight.

I wouldn't mind being a little more toned, but other than that I think I look pretty good.

[still_me]

I do think I am pretty. My birthday gift to myself this year is to acknowledge that I am. I will no longer allow myself to nit pick when I look in the mirror. I will no longer allow myself to say mean comments to my body, mind, and spirit, when I would of taken someone else out at the knees for saying such things to me. ;) When I slip I vow to make myself find one thing to compliment on and it can't be a previously acknowledged body part.

I have made, carried, fed, and taken care of two miracles. I believe my body deserves more credit.

Oh yes, and lipstick has helped me feel better. My lips are nice and wearing lipstick makes me more aware of my face. I know it sounds weird, but it is an unexpected thing that helps me feel better. Now I know why my grandma wouldn't leave the house without it on.

[Tiffearni]

Wow that's great Still me. Everyone should do that.

[still_me]

Wow that's great Still me. Everyone should do that.


Thanks. It sound so simple, but I know it is hard to rid toxic thinking. Regardless, I know I am stronger than that. I can control what energy is in and around me. I know it sounds kinda odd to some, but once you notice energy it isn't easy to ignore it. Don't get me wrong, I am not Chipper Sally all the time, but I am trying to find my natural balance.

[SingingMom]

No, I'm not pretty. I'm good looking. Or attractive. Or what have you. Anyway, my husband, family and friends like me. And every once in a while I look in the mirror and think, hey, that awkward kid didn't turn out so badly!

[Nursh]

I think I use to be pretty once upon a time. Age, weight, and depression & anxiety have all taken a toll on my appearance. It doesn't help that my self esteem is in the crapper. The inside isn't that pretty right now, either.

[_Viva_]

No. I used to, but now I'm just fat, frumpy and old.

[carterandcalliesmom]

Pretty? No. Ugly? No. Just boring average me. (I should be thankful I am not ugly though, right?)

[Michele]

Overall, I feel I am pretty. I have a pretty face and nice skin. I wear little make-up and I still look fine. When I glam it up, I look really nice.

In terms of my body, I am overweight, but it doesn't look horrible on me because I am proportioned. I am hour-glass in shape so that hides a lot. I still have men flirt with me and all, which is nice. I even had a bartender name a drink after me on Friday at a party I attended after he had flirted with me for a bit. (I am sure he does this with all the girls, but it was flattering nonetheless.)

Really, a lot of my feelings of being attractive come with a sense of confidence and self-worth that I have cultivated over the years. I am secure in who I am, I am intelligent and funny, and I like me. All of this makes me feel pretty and it seems to impact the way others view me. Having a strong sense of self makes a big difference.

[VegasLactivist]

I'm alright. :)

[Babyblue]

I think I am pretty, but wear a lot of very unflattering cloths right now, I fit into some but not all of my pre baby cloths, but tend to wear a lot of my post baby cloths....very baggy and loose.

thus I think I look like a moose, when its really just my disgustingly baggy cloths that make me look really bad.


ah I have pictures of me looking like said moose in my very baggy cloths, while I am giving my sisters dd a horseback ridding lesson. would anyone like to see them?
