'I do not look good enough'

I am more concerned about how healthy I am rather than how I look.

being healthy is more important than being good looking. i stick to this mantra ever day and things fall in place

The fact is I don't. So I don't bother. Mirror is to check if I missing out wearing something.

Sometimes the stress is on the one who has to answer.. to speak then truth or not .. LOL

It is not easy to look in the mirror and enjoy what we see.

I do not want to be fat, but this because I want to stay healthy. I do not stress about how I look, but I think that I would if I did not look good.

I do weigh myself almost everyday Deepak, but mirror , I don't really care about because I am born with my looks and it is bound to change with time and age ,so why bother unnecessarily ...

I always look good! Beauty should come from within. If someone is just an unpleasant person (bad attitude, bad mouthed, radiating negative vibes), well it won't matter how "beautiful" this person looks on the outside (unless the other person is that shallow). That being said, I do think neatness and cleanliness can count for a lot too. Not necessarily for beauty's sake, but to show that you take care to take care of yourself.

i am kind of self conscious especially if i am out in public too but i always eat when i need to and health is more important

yes I agree with you but I think is normal for us to wish to looks as good as we can. I won't denny that there are moments when I feel in-secure but I try to regain my self-confidence because there's nothing that looks better than a woman who's confident about herself

The only time I look in the mirror is to comb my hair and I don't even have a weighing machine at home. So what do you think? Do I feel stress or not?

It is important to me that I like the way I look and be comfortable with it. This boosts my own self-confidence. It does not mean that I seek other people's approval of the way I look.

Well said worrying about looks doesn't get us anywhere, it only increases our stress hormones, start up oxidative processes in the body, and make us look even more weary. Confidence, self-believe and positivity on the other hand, add glow to the face and body and make us look naturally healthy and good. I see myself in the mirror and I like myself more when I'm happy and positive. Our reflection in the mirror truly reflect our current state of mind and personality.

I hardly look in the mirror, I know I look fine. I do weigh myself often, but that is because I was very ill recently and lost about 70 lbs so I do monitor it, especially since I am on a regular diet now, trying to gain a few more back.

Our confidence comes from what we have. If I look pretty beautiful, I will feel so lucky because I inherit a great fortune from my parents, just like someone inherit a lot of money from his or her parents, which will make me feel confident. But if I don't look beautiful, which is more possible, I should acquire confidence from other factors. For instance, I could learn hard to accumulate knowledge, I could also work hard to accumulate fortune, or I could cultivate good temper to let others feel comfortable to work or live with me.

Yeah.. I do keep checking that machine again and again. But honestly these days graphs only goes up and up. I do workout for the same and just came back from trekking yesterday. But still it don't workout for me. I used to bother for my look from starting but somehow I keep messing with it.

I tend to always check my face in the mirror if there is one that i see around . It's just to see if it's again oily so i can pat a powder in it .

It will be a stressful life if you will listen what other people say to you. Just live your life. At the end of the day it is how you know yourself is the most important.

No, as long as I appear decent and presentable, it's good enough for me. I don't obsess over looks and beauty stuff.

You must remember two things- a) The need to look good is a primal desire connected to mating! That's the animal part of us- Looks & strength are completely physical aspects and are therefore the two aspects women used to look for in a suitor. I say ''used'' to because it isn't so anymore. A good personality is the need of the hour. Sure physical aspects do add greatly to it but remember they can be easily compensated for ( Case in point, Salman Rushdie with Padma Laxmi and scores of other "hot" women ). b) Your self-esteem has a direct relation with how you "think" you look. Remember its all about a benchmark you set for yourself. If you think you look fat and you workout and lose a kilo, immediately you'll start feeling confident at having made a weight loss ( even if its negligent but because you made a difference in yourself will boost your confidence! ). Its all in the head so your aim should be to do things to get it outta der.
