I just watched an Oprah rerun where she had on women who were addicted to plastic surgery.

Interesting questions, Shy. I am a pretty confident person and, believe it or not, being confident gives me confidence. On pure looks alone, with super models in the mix as a 10, I would call myself a 7. But, in the real world, I think I am more of an 8. I guess that my perception of my own looks changes based on who I am surrounded with.
I definitely have moments where I see a lot of beautiful women (upon entering a party, for example) and have a flash of panic. But then I remember that I am intelligent and funny and that I have a great job and family, etc. and I feel confident again.
The one thing that will still make me wither a little is a beautiful woman who is extremely intelligent, well read, and poised. Ugh.
If I A. could afford it and B. wasn't scared to death of the idea of surgery (especially unneccessary surgery), I'd get a chin implant and get liposuction under my chin, my inner thighs, arms, and belly.
The only thing that really bothers me is my weight. I keep telling myself that I'll feel better if I drop it but, surprisingly, I guess I am not motivated "enough" yet.
One of my best friends has a new girlfriend and she's smaller than I. I've never really been the jealous type but, I find myself comparing her waist to mine, her posterior to mine ...
The land of the beautiful people, you poor thing! I'm sure you are beautiful though, shy!! They are probably thinking the same of you ; )
I wanted to add one more thing.
You've kind of made my point, Stacey.
You know what? I think most supermodels are ugly.
I agree. But, when evaluating my beauty on a scale of 1 - 10, I think in terms of what our current society values.
I think most supermodels are so skinny that they look like they could use foreign aid. And there is something to be said for NOT having the body of an 11 year old boy and actually looking like a woman.
