After I set up my narcissistic poll asking about how people felt about me it got me thinking how do you feel about yourself? You can be anonymous and vote or give over details of your own feelings about yourself.

I'm all right, it's getting better. I had a very hard time going from not being pregnant to being pregnant to not being pregnant again. I find a lot more things I dislike about my body than I used to.
Also I had no clothes that fit after I got done being pregnant and I felt like nothing looked good on me because I still mentally thought of myself as pregnant. Finally got a new wardrobe that makes me feel better about myself.
The hormone flucuations didn't stop once DD was out. My hair has been driving me insane because it's been falling out in clumps and just now is finally slowing down, how it behaves and how it looks changes constantly.
Same with my skin. Fortunately I found Philosophy products at Sephora and they seem to be taming my skin.
I am less unhappy with my body than I was several months ago but I don't think I am going to be 100% happy with it again till I stop breastfeeding and my hormones can finally go back to however close to normal they plan on getting.

Pretty good but I'm trying to improve - sometimes. LOL! I'm a very happy person and feel that I've been blessed so that adds to my self esteem, IMO.

Any self-esteem I might have had was beaten out of me at an early age.

I used to be a dancer and if there is a group of people with HUGE body image issues... it would be dancers. In high school I was borderline anorexic/bulimic and still thought I needed to lose weight. Read more: notmsnmoney.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=fun&thread=2860&page=1#ixzz1Cw9ZOQANNo joke huh! Dancing drained every ounce of self esteem out of me regarding my body image! I too was anorexic through most of my teen years from doing ballet and competitive dancing. I would never let my child (if I were ever to have one) be involved in dancing/ballet/gymnastics simply because it does the opposite of what youth activities are supposed to do...like build confidence, self esteem, pride, etc. I'm one of those perfectionists thats constantly finding something wrong with myself. Its a horrible way to live and I'm working on it, but its tough changing my way of thinking after nearly 30 years! Plus I don't really have alot of supportive people in my life, which doesn't make things much easier.

Thanks Honey! But I'm not quite as freaky looking as the girl in my pic...
MM - I totally agree that girls have it harder than guys when it comes to physical appearance. Just look at celebrities: they eat a cheeseburger and are all of a sudden "pregnant!" Lose a few pounds, and they are "anorexic!" Damned if you do, damned if you don't!
Whats worse is that its a woman on woman hate crime! Most men couldn't care less if a girl has more cushion for the pushin...but you know that almost every female will notice and talk about your weight behind your back....and sometimes to your face!

I've heard I have a dancer's body (does that mean small hips?) or a swimmer's body. Just not a dancer's coordination or talent. LOL!!

Yeah, my shoulders are wider than my hips. But I have long legs and arms, etc. so maybe that's why . Makes swinging through the trees easier. LMAO!!!

What is it with the Avatars? Snerdley is a sickly pimple face, MM's is depressing to look at and hurley 1980 ....... well, I don't know what to say about that one. (Hi Hurley and welcome ) I want to read a good excuse for those avatars.

Hey Sammy!! I think MM's is sexy! Maybe it's the bottle that turns me on, though.

That's projecting sexy?? You know it, few of your friends know it, MM, but to me it looks like a woman with a whopper of a headache, or severely depressed and that's not you. Of course I know how cute you are so I'm being one sided on this. Snerdley, think I will pass if I have to dodge blue needles to get to know you. ;D

After deep contemplation all afternoon in an effort to find a flaw, I voted for perfect.
I probably would have voted for "pretty good but trying to improve" but I'm not really trying to improve. And I dont' really think I'm "in the middle"...so I'm left with perfect. Though to be fair if I had a flaw, it's probably that I'm almost TOO good looking...you know...IF I had a flaw.

I chose "pretty good, but trying to improve," which is a lie, because that would imply that I'm trying.
