I've been feeling good about my looks lately. I still get no looks from anyone in the street, but I took a picture I really liked for my skype profile pic and I've been feeling okay looking in the mirror as of late. Not having to obsess about my appearance as much as I generally do has helped my self esteem quite a bit and taken away a lot of my worries
I am thankful the human body is what it is - can withstand amongst the most hostile of environments and be resilient, stable and in good condition to fight off a lot of things.
