Would changing my appearance to look neater ie. Clean shaven etc considered sinful as I'm not sure if I'm to accept myself as fearfully and wonderfully made ?

Not at all. Some people need to lose weight due to health reasons. A lot of work places require men to be clean shaven and women to be presentable as well. Even though we are made in God's image, we still need to do our part to be healthy, look presentable, and so forth.

If I were a betting man I'd give five to seven odds that this will turn into a debate over... um... a certain thing. I can't say what because then people would start debating it and I'd never know.

2 Samuel 10:4-9Lexham English Bible (LEB)

[SUP]4 [/SUP]Then Hanun took the servants of David, and he shaved off half of their beards and cut their garments off in the middle up to their buttocks, then sent them away. [SUP]5 [/SUP]When they told David, he sent to meet them, for the men were greatly ashamed. And the king said, “Remain in Jericho until your beards have grown, and then you can return.”
