I have a great rack and a great butt and even though my tummy is too big, no one else cares but me! I wear clothes that fit me and accentuate the positives I do have and man, everyone has flaws and most people hate something about themselves. Yeah, I have a double chin and because of it, I can do a better Meatloaf impersonation than you! Yeah, my cheeks are way chubby, and they make me look cuter. I found my niche, I found friends who truly care about me, and I hang out with a lot of hot dudes (and ladies!) who obviously don't think I suck, either.

I still basically think the same. I think people continue to focus on flaws that no one else will notice and/or care about. I do like Jon said- accentuate the positives and the negatives will be way less noticeable.

Plus most of the people I hang out with and actually want to like me appreciate a little awkwardness because it's cute.

Well jeez, then I'm not quite sure how to break this to you.

I think in terms of self-improvement I agree with Tania.  I would rather accentuate aspects of my personality/intelligence than my physical shortcomings, which aren't all that bad to begin with.  I personally despise the girls I know who try to 'sex it up' instead of stopping their ridiculous histrionics.  Wearing a thong/tight clothing does not make up for the fact that you are a horrible person (this is geared towards one particular person, if you couldn't tell, although it applies to other women I know, without the vitriol).

My self image is pretty horrible. Looks wise I think I'm okay. I would say I'm kinda cute and not really ugly, but I also don't think I'm really that pretty. I like my curly hair but I haven't been able to find a cut that's really flattering. It gets frizzy all the time and I really hate it when it's like that. My teeth are not as nice as they could be, mainly because I always forget to brush so it happens about once a day. They're also generally straight but there's one that grew in before the old tooth had fallen out, so it sits really far back. Whenever I am in a picture I tend to tilt my head slightly to the left to cover it up a bit.

I also have extremely pale skin like Jens. Pale to the point that sometimes even the lightest makeup available is too dark. I get sunburned easily, which fades to a tan, but that never lasts. One week after I got back from a vacation in Mexico it looked like I hadn't left Minnesota. My skin is still quite acne prone, mostly on my face, but I get acne on my back and shoulders on occasion, I also have a lot of moles everywhere. For example, my left forearm alone has over 20. I'm not really self-conscious about them but sometimes I wish I didn't have so many.

Then there's my body. I am overweight by 20 pounds or so, considering my height. I'm only 5'3" or 5'4" and I fluctuate between 145-155 pounds. I know that I'm not obese or anything, but I pretty much carry the extra weight in my stomach and thighs, and I'm not comfortable with that. My arms a little thicker than I like, but it's not anything I'm self-conscious about. I do really like my lower legs, since I wear heels enough to keep them toned well. My feet are little and cute, which is nice, and I've been told by several people that I have really beautiful hands so I'll always have that to consider.

Overall, I can look at my body and see it either positively or negatively. When I consider everything I see as a flaw, things get pretty sad, but sometimes I can look at myself and say "I like my hair color" or "My eyes are pretty" and not feel like total crap. And that is pretty much it.

Some days my hair won't fall just the way I want it to so I wear a hat instead.
