giving up 90% of refined carbs is 90% of it. doesn't take that much exercise, just consistence is all that is needed 6 out of 7 days per week. 7th day can be a cheat or lazy day.

Was that post really for "everybody who's reading it" or just for straight men? Cos I'm not sure if I'm supposed to be checking my neck for facial hairs.

thing is, when one learns how to love their reflection in the mirror, one greatly reduces their need for anybody else in their lives, it becomes a possibly useful option rather than a necessity painfully denied.

I don't trust my reflection. It lies. I'm either hideously ugly or really hot.

my reflection so far has not lied, I just had to learn how to look at it in the right way.

I think my brain changes what is actually there. Well, the human brain does actually do that. That's why we have optical illusions. I just think that mine is a little less reliable.

On a good mood day I might think I look great, but if I'm feeling down I look hideous. It doesn't seem to affect pictures though, just the way I perceive my reflection. Although lighting makes a big difference, too.

I have been tempted to doctor my photos of me in photoshop, but have resisted so far.

I would doctor my photos. Except I used to instead give myself green skin or pink hair instead of making myself look better

I could get rid of wrinkles and age spots and moles and chicken neck, but I don't. see what you have to look forwards to?

I'm not looking forward to it at all. Maybe if I look backward instead I'll be twenty again

a dream is a wish your heart makes

If it were that easy to lose weight, surely 2/3 of Americans wouldn't be overweight!

I'm technically under weight - but mostly just a stringbean, from a family of skinny-but-healthy stringbeans - and putting on 10 lbs is pretty much an impossible challenge.

Social relationships are so much based on appearances. I think it ease social relationships not only to be clean but also to dress nicely, follow fashion and be a little sexy (not too much otherwise same sex can be jealous and mean).

...but for girls "nice" clothe are not very comfortable... run with high heels on broken pavements, walk with turning skirts on windy or cold days, carry heavy handbags and wear free-running tights, lose time to paint your nails and put make-up on rainy days. I find it so stupid, uncomfortable and time consuming.

Though, I try to find a good compromis, and improve. I also force myself to look into the mirror to check how I look like (I don't spontaneously do it).
