We learn from a very young age that society tends to favor more athletic people, whether they have the build or the talent, it doesn't really matter. I've always found that the people I come to know tend to favor the more toned, tall body than the short stubby one when it comes to guys and the more feminine, sexy look for girls. I can't say I agree with them, but those are what most of the people in society these days tend to have as their inspiration. I know the reason I've been working so hard at getting back in shape isn't because I want to live a more healthy life but I want to look a specific way.
I realize that's incredibly vain, but exercise is something I've been in need of this past month considering the majority of the food my dad has been getting has been fast food and... that alone isn't healthy at all. For someone who tends to stay in the house all day, sitting around doing nothing while I'm in the house isn't good for me if I want to work at looking a specific way. But it's only one aspect of my body that really kills my self-esteem. Apart from that, I'd say that I like the way I look. I mean, just from fast food alone I've gained ten or so pounds in one month. That's not something I'm proud of. Not in the least considering I worked so hard before that to get at my ideal weight. I'm considering becoming a vegetarian, as well. Both for this reason and the way I think of meat recently (which, if you're interested in reading, you can find that in the Cannibalism thread).
But that's just my views on the way I want to look. I don't judge people who aren't built the way society praises that's ideal for everyone considering there's a lot to put into thought when it comes to body images.
But as far as how I look now: so long as my hair is the way I want it, I have confidence with the way I look physically. Sometimes, in fact, I have a little too much confidence with it, which is odd for me.
