Too much emphasis on looks/apperance

[rachel_ballet]

I can't stand that so many girls have issues with how they look, what their weight is, their boob size and so on!
I'm 35/23/35 5'1" tall and 98 lbs.
I feel like my legs are too long and that my feet are too big as I already wear a women's size 6 shoe. But, I am okay with it!
What bothers me is that there are so many girls out there that are so unhappy with the way they look and they base it upon girls/women in the media!
All of us girls are made the way we are made! Yes, there are things we can do to change the way we are, such as healthy lifestyles, diet and exercise.
I don't believe in extreme changes such as face lifts, breast enlargements, and so on, unless it's a healthy choice and not a physical appearance choice.
When you look at girls in magazines, tv, etcetera, keep in mind that they went through at least an hour of make up and hair style. I know, because I've done a little bit of modeling. And also keep in mind that the picture you see is one of at least a hundred that was shot and at least five people had their say at which one gets published long after the photo edit process takes place!
So be happy with how you look! You are beautiful and God made no mistakes creating you and making you the princess that you are!

Bravo I couldn't agree with you any more, so wise.

Agreed, I'd never want to have surgery for looks/ageing
Maybe if in an accident sure, but not because I'm older

I used to think that too when I was 13, then I got to 16 and started a 2 year spiral of body resentment that I still haven't entirely cleared.

Hold onto those feelings and don't forget them, the pressure to look a certain way can get a lot worse and bury itself in your head once you enter the mid teen years.
