Pretty confident, yeah. Wish I was like 9-10% bodyfat rather than the 13-14 I am now. But yeah, confident. Since I've lost weight people have pretty much only have said positive things to me regarding my appearance, too.

I would say, yes. So I think everyone has his small things he is arguing about (one of my teeth is not as it should, so if I tell you and you come close, you could see it ^^) and I think no womans cries out if she would suddenly have 2 pounds less, but normally I am happy. At concerts and other stuff, I wished I would be a bit taller, because 1,70 m sucks. ^^

Confident enough, I guess. Good enough for it to not be an issue.

No. For a long list of reasons.

1. My jawline sticks out pretty far, to where my profile makes me look like a horse.
2. My teeth don't come together, due to prognathism.
3. Despite working out and being even stronger than I was before, I've gained no muscle mass (possibly a side effect of a syndrome that I have)
4. I have semi-permanent wrinkle line on my forehead
5. The left side of my ribcage is misshapen (nobody notices unless I tell them, though)
6. My hands and feet are too big for my body
7. I have a terrible smile (ties in with 1 and 2)
8. I have beady, non-expressive eyes

I could really go on, but these are the biggest things.

EDIT: Also, I can't forget that I always get called ugly too, so that alone makes me say "no."

I could lose a bit of weight but aside from that I feel alright.

It varies. I normally feel like I'm relatively attractive, but at the same time I've never really had any positive affirmation from others that I am, so sometimes I get a dose of self-doubt

I'll elaborate I guess. No I'm not confident. But I don't think its worth changing by working out

Sometimes I love it, sometimes I hate it. It really depends on how I feel that day.

I'm often concerned that I squint a lot and have permanent dark, puffy circles under my eyes, and I don't know what to do about it.

No, I think I am ugly. No matter how many people tell me I am gorgeous.

If I can actually see myself, yes; the rest of the time, no.

I think (and people say) I lean towards the good-looking side objectively, but classically I've been shy enough and low enough on confidence in general that it did me no good, and my self-image didn't include the idea that I looked good. This is changing though.

Sometimes I used to feel concious and unsatisfied but after lifting weights and training, it definitely helped to boost my confidence. I am who I am, I don't really care for approval and I hope someone will date me for my creativity or character as beauty isn't just skin deep.
