I agree with the OP totally. I am one of those people whose hygiene has gone right out the window in the last 5 or so years. I shower every week or two. I only change clothes when I shower, and I never brush my teeth or comb my hair.

I look bad and smell bad 90% of the time. I have tried several methods to improve upon this but I never obtain any lasting results, so if you have any advice on how I can change please let me know.

Maybe if I left the house occasionally I would change.
