My smile, usually, but I don't tend to "feel" attractive<BR/><BR/>4. Generally. It's fun being a singer and having to/getting to wear a tux on a regular basis<BR/><BR/>5. Actually go to kung fu instead of moan about how I don't go; ride my hot new bike at least three days a week<BR/><BR/>6. Ugh, no<BR/><BR/>7. I burn<BR/><BR/>8. Know that you are beautiful because you are you. Not so much advice, but affirmation, which does more (I think) than anything else.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11698061933050789168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30831203.post-17508100853514707192007-09-18T21:55:00.000-04:002007-09-18T21:55:00.000-04:001.

I hope it doesn't stick around after the birth!<BR/><BR/>2. Kinda everywhere, though I think i have pretty good abs and upper-body strength from all the child-lifting and stroller-lifting and carseat-lifting I've done since Daniel was born.<BR/><BR/>3. Right now? Not a whole lot.<BR/><BR/>4. Oh, yes.<BR/><BR/>5. Haircuts more than twice a year. Serious yoga instead of the piddly stretches I do when I remember maybe once a week. Swimming several times a week. Long bike rides on weekends. Maybe martial arts. I'd have a beauty consultant tell me how to use eye make-up and what color lipstick to wear because I am so inept at that. <BR/><BR/>6. No, but sometimes I chew gum that's supposed to whiten your teeth. It's probably toxic somehow.<BR/><BR/>7. Not very well. I burn more easily than tan.<BR/><BR/>8. You are beautiful because of who you are, not because of what you look like...though it helps to comb your hair. And the laughing at yourself thing Ian said. i like that, too.Suzehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05090954944438450837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30831203.post-49436309935509338862007-09-18T17:39:00.000-04:002007-09-18T17:39:00.000-04:001.

I like muscle-y calves, and mine are pretty spindly.<BR/><BR/>3. It really depends on the day. Some days it's my body, which I generally like. Some days it's my sense of humor. I think cultivating the latter is probably a better long-term strategy for self-confidence.<BR/><BR/>4. Yes. I hate my skin without at least a little makeup, I admit it. And I like sexy knee-high boots. I don't own any at the moment, but I like them.<BR/><BR/>5. Take martial arts. Maybe pay for a haircut, rather than doing it myself in front of the mirror with a hacksaw. Buy sexy boots.<BR/><BR/>6. No, the thought of the process makes me recoil in a fingernail-against-blackboard sort of way. Not sure why.<BR/><BR/>7. Intentionally? No. Easily? Yes. I'm olive-skinned.<BR/><BR/>8. What Pam said. And what Ian said. And also, don't accept the media's definitions of beauty. Look for beauty in real people, and you're more likely to find it in yourself.Stephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03013628807611348775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30831203.post-14802354942948513252007-09-18T14:49:00.000-04:002007-09-18T14:49:00.000-04:001.

Buy a car.<BR/><BR/>6. No.<BR/><BR/>7. I speckle.<BR/><BR/>8. That kind of thing would be decided on a case-by-case basis, but I think that learning to laugh at yourself is probably pretty important for moderating self-image. People who can't laugh at themselves (I think) tend to have very fragile egos.Ianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06925499983922691248noreply@blogger.com
