I dont mean when you look in the mirror, but just when you think about yourself, do you think you are pretty/ugly, fat/skinny, These kinds of things. And what do other people tell you about yourself? do you get complements often?

I've had major jaw surgery so when I look in the mirror I am always amazed at the person I see there. I am no longer this ugly person with buck teeth ect. I see myself as passably pretty. It still gives me a surprise to see how I look even after 6 years.

I think everyone tends to pick at themselves when they look in the mirror.
there is always something we feel needs to be changed.
The "if only's"... If only my nose was a little smaller etc.

I a little bit confused when i look at my self, because now i am too fat i thought, it makes me miss my self in years ago, with great body (all girls said ^_^). My weight up arround 20 Kgs in this 1 year and a half. So bad huh ? but i always thank to God because most of my friends said i have a good personality, and that is the most important ;).

Most of the time I think I'm OK to look at. When I worked out (that seems like forever ago) I was in good shape and got alot of attention. Even with the attention I had a pretty low self esteem and tried very hard to look perfect. Now years later with three little ones in tow, some days I dont even have time to shower much less fix my hair or apply makeup. Now I think I'm still ok to look at looks wise, I am frumpy and over weight though and I hate it! I have people say to me all the time...you look really good for having two pregnacnys so close together and one of them beings twins! Is this a compliment or a cop out? I recently cut my very long hair short. A girl at work keeps telling me I look like Pat Benatar. I'll Take IT! So I guess everyone has things they like about themselves and things they would rather change. If I had a chance to be on Extreme Makeover..I'd be there in a flash!
