Cool Are you satisfied with the way you look?

All of us perceive how our bodies appear in different ways.

Some people feel they are too fat, others lament being too thin.

You may obsess about the size of your nose, while your best friend may wish her feet were smaller.

So, do you think you are satisfied with the way you look? If no, then what changes do you want in you?

There is hardly any person in this world who would be fully satisfied with his looks and body.

One always wants something or the other body part to be replaced or at least touched up.

It is in our nature to demand something better and more..than what we actually possess....If only people got satisfied and happy of whatever is given to them....the whole world would be brimming with happiness...

But instead....look around and you would find a thinner person wanting a good hefty body while a fatter person wanting to become lean....As they say...Grass is always greener on the other side !!!

Walker

Sometimes I wished that my eyes are bigger, my stomach flatter, legs slimmer etc. The list just gets longer and longer. People are always unsatisfied and demands more and more and there's no ending to it...
So I decided to just accept the way I am. I'm a unique being after all. Just be satisfied and live happily with what I have now.

There is no point in worrying about your looks. That is one parameter which is not in your control. If you worry about it, the only thing you are going to gain is high blood pressure and some other stress related diseases. So accept your looks as it is and learn to live with it.

I am quite satisfied with the way I look, although at times I wish I'm a little rounder because I have a slender body. After giving birth twice, I still have the same body, still without stretch marks. I have a small frame, small bones, although I have the slightly taller height than most women in our in country. I love to look and be like woman who have plumper and rounder and with pronounced figure, because I'm more waif-like. I try to eat a lot too to increase my weight, but no luck.

yes , I'm very much satisfied . First we should love ourselves then we can accept with anything. I look thin . People comment on me a lot but i don't bother about it because i feel that i look good in my eyes. If someone says with care then I'll accept with them i try to change the negatives from me . if we have a positive attitude then there is nothing more important to us . look is just a physical appearance

While I am happy with the way I look, I do think that there are some ways to improve it. The easiest way would be to change my hair style of course, though if I am going change it I'd try to lose some weight... haha. Gained like 20 pounds in the last six months which is crazy!

I used to wish that I have long and natural straight hair like my sister or green eyes instead of brown would be beautiful. Then I look at myself in the mirror and imagining how will I look like if all that can be change. I think I look weird.

God has a reason to create us like this. It’s better for me to accept who I am now.

Well, I have a really hard time putting on weight and building muscle. Since I have a really fast metabolize I have to try harder than anyone else when it comes to building muscle. I'll be in the gym for 4 months and if I stop for a week or two I'll start losing muscle tissue instantly. Some people start using proteins and stuff like that, but that's just not for me. The only way I'll ever do it is the natural way. The way those goons look in the gym is just freaky and I can't imagine why anyone would want to do that to themselves and look like that.

I'm satisfied with the way I look, I'd never change my appearance or even consider getting plastic surgery. You should be who you are and not change the way you look to be accepted by others.

every person has been given a different look by god. what makes us look good is the confidence and personality we have. whereas if a person, even after having good looks, has a dull personality, will not be liked by the world

I hate the way i look mostly because i have chronic health issues that cause me to look pale, have a puffy face which changes a lot of the way i look.

In turn i have super low self-esteem coupled with social anxiety because of this i find it hard to hold face to face conversations due to how i look.

I used to be pretty confident as well before all this started, especially due to working out often and being in shape.

My new years resolution is to get well and more confident lol.

I am satisfied with the way i look. I thank god for blessing me with a healthy body. Although i don't have that rock star kind of looks but I'm fine with how I am doing. It's not about looking good from outside but to feel good from inside so that you look good from outside

I'm no model, but I'm in no way ugly. I'm not being big headed, just confident enough with my body that i can say that. I'm not a huge follower of fashion but I dress well and look good in what i have. to be honest you just have to be confident with yourself, no one else matters.

I think I have been fortunate in this aspect but like everyone else I too have my body issues. I have days when i feel really ugly. However i believe acceptance comes with age. Looking good can also work against someone. Like they are not taken seriously for their opinions and are often ridiculed for being a 'dumb pretty girl'.

Overall I think I'm pretty good looking. However, I am still young and will continue changing over time. I do think it's great though how at any time we can just add muscle to our bodies to look better, or lose weight, etc.

To be very honest, no one is really satisfied with the way they look. Asking me, I want to increase my muscles, decrease my fat.

Also, I want my nose to be a bit short, my skin to be a bit more white, and my legs to be a bit more fat. I know it will never happen anyway, so I try to be satisfied, but impossible.

Very few are 100% satisfied with their appearance and, because of this, many will opt to go in search of that "magic formula" in hopes of changing the way they look. Not only are they lured into spending their cash on all kinds of pills, creams, oils, rubs, etc, (of which most are more hype then help, anyway) but, if they don't get the results they are looking for, then, sadly, they will often think they have no other choice then to "go under the knife" instead. Unfortunately, even this (for many) will still not give them exactly what it is they were sincerely looking for to begin with (satisfaction with how they view themselves). For some, they change virtually everything possible about their outsides (eyes, ears, nose, breasts....) but, even if the results of each and every one of those changes turns out perfectly, their insides may still be telling them that they are, somehow, 'flawed.' In turn, one surgery leads into the next while that individual continues in his/her own search of perfection. However, for some, that search will never end because, as everyone knows, there is no such thing as perfection. I have nothing against plastic surgery but, if someone is simply using it for the sole sake of "looking right for someone else", I do find it rather...sad. No one should be made to feel so bad about their appearance that they take to doing something that they otherwise wouldn't do (and something potenially dangerous, at that). On the flip side, though, I also realize it is easy for one to say, "just be happy with the way you currently are; love what God gave you and meant for you to be; leave well enough alone; etc, etc, etc," but, truth is, that is easier said than done for most (rather hard to accept yourself when so many others out there, media included, won't do the same). If that was the case (society being more accepting) magic formula's and plastic surgery would be nowhere near as popular are as they are today.

Oh, and as for whether or not I'm satisfied with my appearance, the answer to that would be yes. Am I perfect? No! Are there things about my looks that I'd like to change? Sure! But then again, it's not the end of the world if I stay just as I am so, for now, that's exactly what I plan to do.

Well, to be honest, no one would be. Even a great star would think if I was a bit more handsome than Mr. Xryz then it would have been different and so on. For me, I am bit contented with my looks, though I don't look so good but still. I prefer that one should be beautiful from inside, not from the outside as outside faces may deceive.
