Accepting my look


I just turned 34, and I have difficulties accepting my face and body aging. I look at myself in the mirror and think, “I still look ok,” but when I see myself in pictures and video, I am terrified with the way I look. I get so upset thinking, “this can’t be the way I actually look. It’s awful.”

Here is the model I came up with:

C I am 34. I have wrinkles and a second chin.
T I look old and fat
F Despair
A Get upset every time I have a video zoom call or when I look at my pictures. Overeat. Do face fitness from time to time but giving up, not seeing immediate results.
R Not being happy with my looks and feeling down because of it

I am not sure that this model is helpful, though. It just makes me feel even sadder.
