hmmm..
i actually do care about my appearance. perhaps that's because i feel
generally happier on days when i have a good hair day. and before you
write me off as some shallow, pointless flake, i don't claim that a good
hair day is all i need to be in a good mood (nice clothes help too :-P),
but it does help to get out of the shower, towel my hair into submission,
and say, "geez, it's a good hair day." especially on days when i shower
late enough that there's sun shining in my window (abbe's and my room is in
the northwest corner of bexley, so we don't get much sun, though the
reflection off the snow during the winter was quite intense). just a nice
way to begin the day.
i think my advice is to ask yourself why you're worrying about your body.
is it (as seems likely from your post) explicitly because you're worried
about your work, etc, then if you were able to finish your work, i imagine
you'd look in the mirror and look better to yourself. so go tool... :-)
oh, and i'd like to assert that i do not think i need to lose weight.
thank you :-P
