I have felt this way and I still FEEL this way. It's the hardest thing accepting yourself and loving yourself. I know you shouldn't stop caring about your appearance, but I did. And I packed on ANOTHER 20 FREAKIN POUNDS. I just give up. With the weight, hair, face, body all of it.

I go out now without makeup or doing my hair and not giving a *^&*. Yeah I feel bad, but I am no longer ashamed of who I am. I dress up and look nice for work (as best as I can) and you know I feel beautiful when I do. I even posted a pic up here on PC with me without makeup, saying how beautiful I was, and it was very scary, but very brave and groundbreaking for me.

So even though you feel this way, it's a passing thing. Years later and positive posts on here later I still feel that way DEEP down, but I keep going and living because this is the form that was given to me so I have to live with it.
