Do you think you're attractive?

It's like were the same person.Unfortunately, no, not at all. I have some self esteem issues and believe myself to be very unattractive. Especially because of being over weight.
There are very few days that I wake up feeling attractive. And even on those days it doesn't last too long. As soon as I have to go anywhere or I see beautiful women on TV, that feeling is completely ruined.0 -
You are so not those things.
I think you and I have some issues in common. LOL

A very kind MFPer sent me a message after I posted on here and they had a very good point.
I don't feel attractive. When I get compliments from people - and I have to admit in all honesty that I do get compliments on my appearance pretty regularly - I have a habit of thinking that they must need glasses or that they are biased or they must just be comparing me to how I looked 100 pounds heavier when of course I'm better looking now than I was then, but that's not saying a lot.
But then, like I said, someone sent me a message after reading my post and, after telling me that they thought I was beautiful, they added this:
I am a child of God, and God doesn't make junk.
It's true. I am "wonderfully and fearfully made" and that means that - pointy chin, small mouth, freckled skin and all - I am beautiful. And so are you - ALL of you.0 -

Just wanted to say that I have the same reaction when I get compliments. It has been suggested to me that I could have BDD.0 -
When I ever get compliments from anyone I always think they are just saying what they think I want to hear. Because the "me" they see and the "me I see, are totally differentA very kind MFPer sent me a message after I posted on here and they had a very good point.

Yes, totally! That is exactly how I feel. I think it`s pretty frustrating for people. LOL I also obsess over appearance and think about it way more often than what is normal.
I have read about BDD and think I definitely have it. I will eventually go and talk to someone about it. Can`t live this way forever. 0 -
I think we tend to be MUCH too critical on ourselves... I did end up getting married to an absolutly gorgeous woman (im sooo lucky!) .... im a firm believer in the saying "love is blind" cause she truly must be to have agreed to marry my ugly mug LOL0

Haha intelligence is top of my list of sexiest traits a guy can have. And if someone's a geek that's a huge bonus

Yes, started loving myself and now I can't stop. Peeps don't wait until you are thin to feel the love, everyone is attractive to someone, it might as well be you first!!!

I'm still insecure sometimes, but for the most part I do feel beautiful. I know I'm a beautiful, confident, smart woman. My low esteem in the past has gotten me in trouble with men. Now, I know that I'm worth something. God will bring me the person I'm supposed to be with, in the meantime I need to focus on myself.0

Let me put it this way... when I was 150 lbs... I felt I was very sexy and seductive and pretty. At 280 ish right now... I don't even come on to my husband
