Be honest about it. Many people put a lot of emphasis on the way they look and put a lot of effort into maintaing their look. The current younger generation is obsessed by it. If you're not hot, you're a loser.
Even if you carry a few extra pounds ( say 15 - 20), these days you're classified as fat. No room for curves anymore. I'm moving to Alsaka - layers of coats, boots, hats - I can work with that.
