I think looks *sorta* matter. Moreso, I think it's how a person carries herself. Think about it. There are lots of overweight women in the world (myself included, so I can say this without being politically incorrect). Some of them you look at and think, "Eeewww." Others, who may be every bit as heavy, you look at and barely even notice they're overweight. The difference is how the woman feels about herself. Some women think being fat is beautiful and voluptuous, and mmm-mmm they feel sexy! And they are! I really admire the women of the African American culture, because they seem so confident about their bodies, no matter what size. They feel beautiful, so we see them as beautiful.
How you get from here to there, I have no idea. But whenever I'm feeling self conscious, I try to remember women who carry themselves well and try to act like them. I make it an acting job -- pretending to be confident. Sometimes I actually pull it off.
In any case, from what I've seen of you on this board, you ARE beautiful!
