Livre d'Or

I think I gave the impression I have much worse body-image issues than I do. I mean, I basically quite like my body and appearance. And I do have plenty of clothes which suit me very well and are also comfortable. I can dress up pretty when I want to; I just don't want to be obliged to do so every day, and I don't want to be in pain when I do dress up. It's a lot more about laziness than negative self-image.

I mean, if I make a medium amount of effort, but still stick with comfortable clothes, I can be reasonably good-looking. I don't think I would ever be utterly devastatingly gorgeous if I made a big amount of effort or wore painfully constricting clothes. So it's not worth it. Similarly, for every day, I'm quite happy with making minimal effort – I usually wash, and brush my hair and wear clothes which I consider not to be ugly; I don't usually put on makeup or wear elaborate hairstyles or insist on new clothes every month. That amount of effort leaves me looking vaguely ok, which is good enough for me; most of the time I don't even want people to notice my appearance anyway.

Thank you for the compliment, though :-) Even self-confident people like me enjoy compliments.
