I could stand to lose some weight (Or do I have to gain muscle now?) but, otherwise, I'm comfortable.

I just got a haircut and I realized 3 things:

  • The barbers on post don't know anything other then bald.
  • My head looks weird when I cut my hair
  • My hair grows back really fast.

I'm... 5'3"?? I don't check often... And 113-1120lb (depending on the scale and when I've eaten...)

I think I'm pretty hot. I have a smokin' bod, and a pretty face with cute features. I was told I have nice, large eyes, and overall softer features, since I don't work out but I'm not at all bony. I have a very feminine figure, sizeable breasts and a passably slim waist, and no horribly disfigured features otherwise. My teeth are straight, even, and my hair is thick, straight, and healthy.

Unfortunately, this is all offset by me never brushing my hair, keeping my hair in ugly boyish haircuts and chopping away at it haphazardly when it gets annoying, me dressing slobbishly in slacks or sweatpants and baggy jackets most of the time, and bad habits like biting my fingernails. I'm mildly self-conscious about a mole on my nose and a large one on my back, but eh, my looks have never actually been a high priority for me. It just sort of happened that I turned out to be a total smokin' babe, OHOHOHOHO- I'm kidding.

But really, as a child I always thought I was very ugly and I'd grow up looking like a dirty witch or something, and I preferred to convince myself looks weren't important rather than try to improve them. I did a pretty good job of it, though I do appreciate that I grew up relatively good looking.

Overall, I've got typical generic Asian Cuteness, small and young-looking and a little squishy, which makes me seem innocent and sweet, but when I start cursing like a sailor it kind of ruins it for people I think.

Wow, compared to you guys, I am a freaking mammoth weight wise.surprised

I am 5'7 and 180 pounds (81 Kilograms) so I do have round cheeks. However, due to my latest workouts,while I have barely moved the scale weight wise. The good news is that my figure has moved for the better to the point that other people have started to notice without having me mention it. The other good news is that much of my current weight goes to my legs instead of my belly, so now my belly is no longer obvious when wearing tighter clothing. Some people say that even though I have barely lost any weight, the way my figure has changed shows more on muscle tone around my legs than lack of results since all I do for workouts is jog. Too bad this muscle tone does not show on my upper body, but my bad back makes it hard for me to do muscle toning around my torso.

Where I live has a bunch of girls who feel slightly attracted to me during my spurts of confidence, so I do say that when I am in my confident playful mood, I seem more attractive to them. I feel more attractive when I have longer hair and a beard, but the girls around still pester me to shave it off because it makes me look older than I am. I refuse to shave it all because I feel I go back to look too young for my taste, but I guess I should trust the opinion of the girls I know I little I guess.

I feel my face is between between average to a little below average depending how long my regular hair is. I have yet to decide what look does look best. My teeth are not great, but nobody seems to mind much and as long as my smile is not too wide.

In summary, I feel more comfortable about my appearance than a couple of months ago, but I do feel I still need to work on it. I feel comfortable so far.

Let's see... I'd like to be taller than my 5'8", I need more muscle and less fat, if I had that then I might be satisfied with my current weight, I'd like my bones to be just a little bit larger so my bone structure showed up better in my face and would like slightly fuller lips. I take away my breasts completely and also fix my current recent fucking up of my skin with break outs. And I'd fix my depigmented areas of skin so I felt I could spend sustained mounts of time outdoors in sunlight again if I wish, now it just make them actually noticeable.

I'm ok with my skin tone and wide mouth.

I like my eyes and cheek bones and my jaw line.

I am working out again as I finally got new sports bras. But I am aware that I have abnormal body image.

Scribe: I've always joked I have two useless features for someone mainly attracted to women. A wide mouth and little to no gag reflex.[lol] Nature is a strange prankster!

And on that note, I've finished my vodka. It is time to sleep.

I used to have a lot of image issues — hell, I can look back on elementary school pictures and grimace because my hair was shaped like a penis and my head looked weird — and I'm still getting used to the idea that I might actually be mildly attractive. These days I've been given alternating opinions by girls, and I get the feeling it's basically just viewer taste. I don't take pictures well though, my forced smiles are kinda raepfacey [lol]

Wish this damned acne would go away though, it's been 10 years and a lot of different medications and it blows goats.

Well... I'm a Eerie Pale-Skinned Brunette with Green Eyes who stands at 5'1 and varies between 113 and 120 lbs depending on the time of year (holiday junk food season).

I am often confused for a 12 year old and can be estimated at 16 if I am bearing cleavage, despite the fact that I am buxom and hippy. I have a short body with long legs which makes me sort of thick around the middle due to my ribcage. I'm pretty fit and and kinda squishy since I don't work out but I'm happy with that.

My teeth are kinda crooked but I already did braces so they're better than before and my hair is wavy/curly and always looks best after it's been washed and it hates weather changes in the humid direction.

Old people tell me I'm a beautiful girl but my own appraisal (and the large line of suitors banging down my door) says that I'm pretty with nice eyes and cheek dimples. But really, as a child I always thought I was very ugly and I'd grow up looking like a dirty witch or something, and I preferred to convince myself looks weren't important rather than try to improve them. I did a pretty good job of it, though I do appreciate that I grew up relatively good looking.

I think I give off the more 'awkward and cute' look. Avatar 11 is based on me, so yeah...

Stolen: Seems nice enough. Braces make me think you're either young or had to get them for a second time(which sucks. Braces always suck). Maybe because I had them when I was in 6-9th grade and hated them. I can barely imagine having them when in your 20's though I know people do.

Drunk: Ugh, tell me about it! And I had that appliance that pushes your bottom jaw forward too! Starts with an h.

I was even less secure about the way I looked then. Though, ironically, I like my body slightly better(I was an athelete and was thinner too same height though) just hated how young I looked.

@Senator: I was too happy about getting rid of the grille to care about the rest - and being a too-skinny pizza-faced dweeb at the time, that's gotta count for something...

Weren't you going to bed or something?

Drunk: I was... but then I got distracted. But I have to in the next 30 minutes!

Meh, I had less zits in high school than I do right now. Probably because I went on BC around 14 and off it in two years ago. I don't always have zits but when I do they're bad. :/

Kino, aha, ahahaha... Our family is not one for taking pictures, including myself, so I don't really have stuff on hand... And besides that, a deep-bred paranoia of posting pics of myself online has been sown since I first learned what the internet was. The only pic of me that I know of posted anywhere is from my sister without my permission, and it tactfully obscures my face. XD

Old people tell me I'm a beautiful girl but my own appraisal (and the large line of suitors banging down my door) says that I'm pretty with nice eyes and cheek dimples.
