maybe.. think you're never pretty enough ; think your boobs need be bigger ; spend too much on making yourself look nice ; blame the fashion industry or men ; think Barbie is perfect
any thoughts

I do like to look good and I do spend some amount of time in the bathroom in the morning "putting my face on" I'm happy with my boobs so that's not an issue. I used to be the "fat kid" that got picked on in school and years ago I just decided, no more! And I never felt better, lost the weight and got a haircut, now I never leave the house without make-out, an outfit I feel good in and high heels lol. I guess I like it when men pay attention to me, but mostly I do it for me, so I can feel good about myself.
The fashion industry does put alot of pression on young girls, especially when it comes to weight issues, I'll never be model skinny, but I'm happy with how I look, the skeleton look isn't pretty at all so...by the way did you know that if Barbie was a real woman, she wouldn't be able to stand up, walk or have children, so that's a pretty bad role model.
I think fashion magazines are lots of fun, but when you're a young impressionable teenage girl they're horrible because pretty much every girl will find something about herself that she hates because of all the photo shopped models in the magazines.
Also I think that celebrities like Kate Winslet, Beyonce or even Liv Tyler send out a much better message than so many other super skinny celebs out there....you don't have to be able to count their ribs, see their sternums to be beautiful, it's just the opposite, curves are the way! :)

No, not me...at least not anymore. I bloomed in my 20's and I knew I was pretty but I never appreciated it and could never look good enough. Now I'm older and wish I had been happy with the way I was back then. And now that I'm not pretty like that anymore it has taken my focus away from my looks. I miss the attention though sometimes. It was fun all the hoots and hollers. *sigh* Oh well, it eventually happens to the everyone.

I am obsessed with my weight.
I blame myself.
I HAVE to be thin, or I don't think I could look at myself.
