No, please don't do that Willow. Neil is right (look at that Neil, we're agreeing again), beauty is absolutely nothing to do with size - as I'm sure Busman will also confirm. Beauty is far more than that and fortunately there are men out there who like all different types of women.
I'm not conventionally beautiful and according to Less I'm dumpy, add to that the view that my children have of me with a wrinkly forehead and wobbly belly and I could have a real downer on my body image. We all have issues with the way we look but beauty is well and truly in the eye of the beholder and so no one should ever allow anyone else to call them ugly and no one should ever call themselves that.
As we get older things change and we have to accept that we are never going to look like we did at 20 again but we can't beat ourselves up about it.
Willow, you have so much more to offer than physical beauty, please don't do yourself an injustice.
