Feeling unattractive?

People feel unattractive all the time I am lucky that I have a face for radio, and while not the best looking or with the biggest muscles. My sense of humour gets me through, it took a long time for me to realise this and not focus on the outward so much. Yes I moisturise and spray Hugo boss on for work, but being a nice person is by far the most attractive quality anyone can have. X
Ps I am not saying I am a nice person but I do try - until ppl piss me off lol3 -
I struggled with BDD when I was younger. And it really had an impact on my life. I relate to the others here that decided after a certain age to embrace themselves as they are. I have a healthy functioning body. I realize this even more after a severe medical injury that changed my life (not a good thing). I have a lot to be thankful for. And a lot I can do. So, I do what I want, I enjoy life. Because life is short and you only get one. This is the life I have and I am going to live it. I'm not going to waste it. And I see the positive influence it has had on my daughters. Also a good book is Radical Acceptance by Tara Brach.2

Meh, I still feel like the fat girl with the big nose. Probably always will, but when I am down to a good weight I feel better about myself.1

I have strived my whole life trying to get the "perfect" body and because of that I was never content on how I looked. Then one day I just stopped caring about all the flaws and fixed what I was able to work on. Much happier now!5

4-5 years ago I was insecure pretty much all the time, even when I was in good shape. Now that I have my BF of nearly 3 years who has reinforced from the start that I'm beautiful no matter what, I've relaxed into my own body a lot. Even when I'm heavier than I'd like (like right now) I still feel cute. My ex was emotionally and verbally abusive and I think that's a huge reason why I was insecure all the time, so I'm happy to have someone supportive now.
Also finding clothes that I like and that look well, no matter my shape or weight, helps a lot with this. You could be in great shape and wear the wrong size clothes and still look funky.
My last go around with MFP was focused not so much on my weight and what I saw in the mirror, and that's also helped a ton. Weight is just a number.1 -

I'm sorry you're in a similar position, that's exactly what my husband says. I hope things get better for you.0 -

No one is unattractive. It's the heart that matters.3
