Have you let yourself go ? why?

Maybe they aren't concerned with your opinion of their appearance.

Ever get a good look at Einstein? Some people have more to bring to the table than a new hairstyle and manicure.

i have 4 young children running around, and i go to school full time plus keep the house up which i just have to say is exhausting as all hell. If I am going to walmart to get bread and milk, i dont dress up. One there is nothing wrong with flip flops in the summer so i have no idea where someone got the idea flip flops are sloppy. I try to at least wear jeans since i hate the way i look in sweats and feel self-conscious in them, i mean im a mother of four i want to hide my extra curves not extenuate them. But i will just put a brush through my hair and put on a t shirt. If i am going out to eat or going somewhere like a friends house or movies or out with my man i would never wear stretch pants. I want to look good so my man can be proud because thats all that im really doing it for. I am comfortable in pjs, and house clothes but not when i am in public. So it really depends on the location.

Honestly if your at walmart and your bothered by a woman who had to rush to the store with kids hanging all over her hips weraing PJs, mind your business. Apparently she had a ton of kids for SOME reason and I doubt her wearing PJs to walmart had anything to do with it.

I eat right, exercise at least 2 days out of the week, care for my skin morning and night, and do my hair daily. I wear jeans and a t-shirt, on weekends out with my husband i always dress up and ear heels since during the week i just can't with my type of work and wear makeup, I have always though that dressing up and makeup go together, LOL I'm not that dependent on makeup though, i get hit on by guys w/o makeup, so i figure i don't need much, i would never wear PJs outside though, just my own hang up, because when i get up and wash up, change undies so it only makes sense to already get jeans, i wear sweats maybe once a week, and they are stylish, and flip flops are my best friends in the summer with the jeans. don't be so concerned with what others do, it's their lives.

No I don't think so. I am always doing or getting my nails done... I do my hair. BUT I hardly ever wear make up, I have never been a make up type of chick. If I wear it, it's foundation, powder, blush and eye shadow. OH and I absolutely Love Victorias Secrets Lip glosses. (I wear those with make up or not)

But you see my hubby met me when I wasn't even wearing make up.... So from the get go he knew what type of chick I was and apparently he's happy with that.

It's the way you carry yourself, I can rock some old sweat pants and an old t-shirt, because I always keep the hub guessing. (what is or isn't underneath..shelf bra? thong? boy shorts? lace? sheer? satin? or nothing at all ...haha)

I don't judge those I see out in public either, you don't know if they have medical conditions or even allergies to certain make ups or whatever.

If they are comfortable with how they look then who am I to knock em?? If you are offended just don't look...

I just figure I wasn't put on earth to trip anyone's trigger.

But now I'm starting to get wrinkles and for the first time in my life I'm wearing makeup.

So is it for you guys? Or myself?

But even if I doll up, I'm never going to be pretty. It's a lot of time to put on the makeup and a lot of money to buy the nice clothes. It even takes time and money to work out, when you live in an area with extreme temps. And still I wonder-what do I care what people I don't know think of me? If they judge me on my appearance, aren't they being jerks?

Sometimes I wonder if I dress down to MAKE people take me for who I am on the inside. Apparently the person I am is willful, and possibly combative!

Well, one thing's for sure--I'm comfortable!

While pregnant with my now 5 year old daughter I never had the energy to do anything... lol... My husband was lucky to see my hair combed during that time. That was the only time I just completely let myself go. Now I try to keep myself up, I have never had a problem with my weight, and I have never put make up on, it's not for me I guess I like the natural look and my husband loves that to. lol... I will run to the store in sweats on occasions but not everyday but if someone did I don't see the problem in it, it's there life! lol.... I don't aim to please people, I only want to please god first myself second and my husband on occasions... lol... My husband always says to me you never have to do to much to be attractive to me "hair tie, sweat pants, that's when your the prettiest" lol....

I try to keep myself as attractive as possible not for other women but for my wife. I want her to see that I didn't get comfortable because we are married and I shouldn't have to try anymore. I think the problem is that once someone gets married they feel that well I don't need to keep up on myself. Hence the reason many people do not feel good about themselves because they let it all go to the wind and want to know why their spouse is not interested.

I stay beautiful for me. And it's an added bonus to my significant other. Im no longer married, but when I was, honestly I did gain a little weight (but that's not why we divorced, my husband loved my body). You get comfortable and eat out a lot at first, so you do gain some. But I don't think I'll ever just "let myself go".

Definitely not. I will wear sweatpants around the house but that's it. I've kept myself in good shape and always try to look nice when we go out. I wouldn't go out looking like a slob. I do it for my husband but I do it for me too. I don't get why people get so comfortable with a person that they just totally let themselves go. I couldn't do it.

Hell no. I work out and I honestly probably look better now than when I was 20.

I feel obligated to keep myself up for my wife. She does the same for me.
