I'm seriously considering getting plastic surgery. When I told this to my husband, be got angry with me and said that it was a waste of money and that I didn't need it. But sometimes I can't stand looking into mirrors. I wish I had better self-esteem, but I just don't. What should I do?

I say look at all your options. Way out all the pros and cons and go from there. Talk to your husband and tell him how you feel and why you are considering plastic surgery. I say the same thing to my husband with the same response but he doesn't realize how much my body bothers me after having three kids. If you are serious about it I would push the issue and go talk to a plastic surgeon. He may either turn you off on the idea or he may give you something to really consider. The whole beauty comes from within is crap. I'm sorry but it is. A shrink may not be the answer for you either. You want to be happy and feel that plastic surgery may be the answer go talk to someone and get some more information on it.

That self-esteem has to come from within. Some things you just can't control, but you can control how you feel. I agree with the bellydance class idea. They have all kinds of dance-like lessons that help build self-esteem. I would also suggest karate or kick-boxing lessons. Not only do they work on your self-confidence but its also a great way to channel any feelings you have within and push it out.
Girl, go take a bellydancing class. Seriously. Rather than spend the money on an expensive, risky surgery, go join a group of women with less-than-perfect bodies and go flaunt your stuff! You'll feel better. And always remember. Getting plastic surgery tells your kids that you're unhappy with the way you look, and consequently, the way they look.
I wish I had advice for you. I feel the same way. I think we need to go outside more, and do activities like volunteering that take us out of ourselves and make us focus on what's really meaningful. I know how much it hurts. I'm sorry.
See a doctor. You may have to learn how to get a better self esteem, you can, they can help you and they will guide you. I hope you realize that a good doctor will not perform any plastic surgery on you until you have been seen by a mind doc.
