Hypothetical question....

Is it better to change your appearance, and then feel better about yourself, or to work on your self-image and worry about your appearance later (if at all)?

I know which one I vote for.

Small, non-permanent changes that boost self-image I'm all for, but not serious cosmetic changes. I know for myself I'd always been self-concious about my teeth, I vowed to save up enough money to get braces, etcetc, but after a while I became more comfortable with who I am, and what I look like and now I haven't the slightest desire to get braces.

I just think it's better to become comfortable with who you are rather than try and alter yourself into who you wish you were.
