You have to realize that you probably aren't in the best position to make that call. From where He is, your Master can see what you cannot. He sees beauty in the whole package that is you. Next time you hear those words, "you are beautiful," believe it.

And don't worry about being too far off topic. After the abuse is over we all have to deal with the aftermath. The emotional takes a lot longer to heal than the physical. Good luck.
Some of us women never hear it from the men in our lives that we are beautiful. My father never said it to me. No boy (young man) that I knew ever said it to me. My first husband, whom I was married to for ten years, never said it to me. I've always been overweight and felt invisible, unnoticed by men.

I wasn't told I was beautiful by any man until I was almost 40. Master has been saying it all these years and I still have trouble believing Him. Will I ever truly believe Him? As He says, maybe on my death bed. As you said, the emotional abuse takes a lot longer to heal than the physical. I'm still pretty fucked up from what I suffered at the hands of my ex. But Master loves me anyway.
