It's makes me feel sad when I hear people talk like this. I agree with ((Opheliasorrow)) that what maters most is what's on the inside. But I also agree with making the best you can from what you have - which means taking care of yourself with eating right and exercising. I also remind myself that there are people who are struggling with far worse outer challenges. Take a look at the thread in current events by ((Jerry Michele)) - it's about the woman who was attacked by her friends chimp and now she's severely disfigured - don't look at it if things like this upset you(Trigger warning). I also use the example of the war veteran who was burned by a bomb blast. He ended up working in the famous soap opera(forget the name). True he has no hair or ears and his skin is severely stretched but he has incredible charm and strength - as I watched, I forgot his disfigurement.

Try to work on accepting yoursef and then make yourself the best you can be - that's all we can do.
