Vanity Drama

A few weeks ago (in Plurk) I talked about the feeling of sadness which rushes over me when I start removing my make up.  I was accused of PMS-ing and of being overly dramatic (duh people as if you didn’t know this already) but no one ever said they too felt the same way. I wonder if that feeling is normal?

I grew up looking fairly normal. I’ve never had huge skin problems nor did I ever require treatment for acne. I consider myself okay looking but there are times when I find myself gross and disgusting. I heard that Dawn Zulueta feels the same way sometimes so I guess I’m not entirely alone in this situation.

The interesting thing for me is that I have gained so much weight now but I have so much less of these situations. I felt more disgusting when I weighed just right. I felt more disgusting when I was dating around and there were more men who say I looked pretty. Why is that?

Now, when I look in the mirror, I like what I see. I like the person staring back at me. Do you?
