Feeling unattractive?

I think we all have those days.
It's my job to be fit and confident - does that mean I always feel confident in how I look? No!
I have off days the same as everyone else.
What matters is being kind to yourself and realising that you're the most perfect version of you out there!3 -
Oh I'm feeling this today for sure. ..0

In my heart, I know I am not an ugly person. However, my brain goes through many of my faults on a daily basis. It is the small things that add up like seeing my large pores in the mirror, noticing new wrinkles, catching myself in a window and seeing my stomach protrude, having to make sure I have something covering my upper arms at all times, or trying to fit into clothes from a year ago. While none of those things are a big deal in reality, they can certainly wreak havoc on my confidence.0

It depends. If I do my hair and makeup, and don't eat much (so I'm not bloated) I feel good. But most days I feel awful about myself.0

It really is a battle to combat those negative thoughts in our head. It is always easier to believe the negative than the positive about ourselves.0 -

I could've written this myself. I'm my absolute worst critic.1 -

Others see beauty in me but I have a tough time believing them.0

There are times I feel unattractive but I know that I have so many wonderful attributes. I try to focus on the things that make me feel more secure about myself. My self confidence is more attractive than I will ever be physically.4

In the past.. but I think feeling physically unattractive has more to do with how you feel about yourself as a person and I was at the time in alot of bad relationships with guys that wanted to break me down and I let them. I suspect they wanted to keep me fat ... To keep me and thinking about it now it's scary how low their self esteem must have been because I'm insanely loyal..ugh bad times. You need to raise that confidence girl!2

We all seem to want to rebel against societal norms regarding what is good/is not good and how we see ourselves, but we are just as quick to forget that when making judgement of others.
I wish I was in the same boat as you
There may or may not be motivation behind that0 -

Im not feeling unattractive, I know I am ugly. Talk all you want, no one looks on the inside, it shines- it might actually be kind of a filtered light, a bit crazy and female.
Always have been always will be. To top it off, going through a divorce, back to school after 11 years, and being ditched doesn't help. At least if i was attractive, I dont know .. it'd be something.
maybe I wouldn't have held on to a emotionally abusive husband as long, maybe I could go out and laugh with friends because id actually have some, maybe my mom would be happier to call me her daughter, maybe my form would improve because i could actually stand to look in the mirror when lifting.
Being ugly has its benefits, and perhaps that's all that matters- how we use who we are to make this world a little better. I'd rather be ugly and alone yet be able to empathize and help someone feel better about themself, than be beautiful. I know what it's like and maybe I can help someone so they don't have to struggle. And maybe so I dont have to always struggle alone.3
