It is not only the pounds. It is the whole package.
If you don't take care of your mind and soul the most physically beautiful person can feel like the ugliest duckling.
I know I was there at the exact age 17. I thought I was the most unattractive girl in the world and there was a "ton" of guys wanting to date me. My body and face and hair and... were perfect.. but I felt I was boring, uneducated, couldn't hold an intelligent conversation, had no interests.... I felt empty and dull.
So I got up one day and decided it would change. I invested in myself heavily! I read everything that had letters
I learned 2 foreign languages (one of them this one I am communicating with you - English) I have 2 university diplomas, 3 postgraduate and one PhD... this is just the mind
and today I am considered to be the "light of the party"... a very charming person with a great sense of humor and a lot of knowledge in my fields of interest.
I never intended to blow my own horn just to show that it is all possible. I am not saying that the beauty didn't help! always had the men I wanted. But that is only an added bonus
