Is it normal that i'll only truly feel beautiful if i had...

... flat stomach, fit legs and arms, and straight hair. I had my hair straightened before and I loved it, but I hate my body. I love food and I can't focus on exercising or eating more healthy. It's not that I'm fat, though I think it sometimes, but it's just sometimes I find myself disgusting.

    Society is flawed. You're just a victim.

  • To someone else, you could be perfect and beautiful. Think about that.

    I felt the same until I met my wonderful husband who made me feel beautiful even on my worst days.

    I used to look at myself the way like you do, but it just takes time to realize you don't need to have all of that. Sounds cheesy but it's true. And on the other side: embrace it. I used to straighten my hair always, now i also leave my curls once in a while, i received compliments about. Life's not about what you want to be, but who you are. Cheers

    Oh come on, cheer up. If you had a totally flat stomach and "fit" (which I'm assuming means muscular) arms and legs, you'd be a man. Society today hates the way women look. We're soft, curvy, and luscious. Society wants us to be hard and angular. Just love yourself. The older you (and guys) get, the more they realize that the female body is wondrous just the way it is. Just stay healthy.

    Meh, the body is only temporary, why worry about your body so much? It can always change! If you struggle sticking to excercise, go with a friend, think that your there with them, to socialise, not excercise, exercising is but the extra to socialising. Make a schedule and stick to that.

    Honestly?

    When it comes to picking out someone, confidence matters...as does, well, their eyes and mouth/smile....to me.

    Basically because that's what i'm going to be looking at when i'm talking to you.

    If you don't know the meaning of sarcasm, you are instantly dropped, despite your "perfect limbs, flat stomach, straight hair"...personality plays a big part.

      Well, not exactly meeting up to their expectations or trying to impress them...

      That's the problem with me. I feel like a lot of people are too shallow minded to see personality and focus too much on looks, so it makes me feel I have to meet up to their expectations.
