    I confess that these forums are really making me feel like *kitten* about myself. I notice that whenever ANYBODY else posts any kind of progress pic/selfie etc. they get some kind of "How YOU doin'?" type response. I get tumbleweed, confirming that I am indeed physically repulsive. Time to crawl under a rock.

    There's several reasons I haven't posted in the selfie thread yet, but a big one is that I'd be letting my self-esteem hinge on validation from strangers on the internet. I'm not in a good place about my appearance, and not getting a bunch of super-positive comments would hurt. I would interpret it as "I'm not attractive" rather than not being one of the regulars that always comment on each other, or posting at a time where people were too busy to comment, or someone else posting an AMAZING selfie that's grabbing everyone's attention at the moment.

    Maybe I'm hot, maybe I'm not, but I want to value myself enough that my appearance is not the sum of my worth. The number of likes on my selfie would not change how good of a friend, wife, and daughter I am, how I perform at my job, how well I cook, or how generous I am to those in need. So I'm not going to put myself in that situation until I get my head straight, like myself a little more, and appreciate my body as it is.

    I'm not sure what's happened that's so thoroughly convinced you you're deserving of the hate you pile on yourself, but I hope you can start to work through it and realize you should hold yourself in higher esteem. Your height and your appearance will be attractive to some and not attractive to others. Allowing these things - and specifically the people who comment negatively on these things - decide your entire worth is doing yourself nothing but harm. Don't give anyone that power.

    Thank you.

    I forced myself to do a selfie once. And I'm going to force myself again in 6 months. And I'm looking at it as a mental exercise. I might have gotten one like. I'm not sure.

    As an average looking guy, I'd be lucky to get that. No worries though, it's about improving one's own self image in ones mind.

    I confess I don't remember when the last time was that I physically brushed my hair (besides every 8 weeks when my hair girl does it) I just run my fingers through it every morning after my shower and while blow drying.

    How do you have such pretty hair without brushing it?! If I let my hair grow out to an inch, I have to comb it incessantly or I look like an old Q-tip.

    Thank you, but I am lucky. My dad has great hair for a guy, I got his great hair genes. Plus I use top quality hair products.. kind of a you get what you pay for thing.

    As a side note, birthday cake has 0 calories. Proof; look up Dean's birthday cake in the MFP database. :-)
