Description
If it has become too obvious, I have low self-esteem. I'm not gonna lie, I'm fat. Not horribly obese, I'm perfectly healthy (my doctor's checked) but for the most part I'd have to say I'm so-so on the happiness scale
. But I see all these beautiful women on TV, inmagazines, and in books that it just makes me feel so self conscious. Not to mention my older successful sister is soo beautiful and well I'm not
.Both my nieces and my family say, I'm beautiful but I just don't see it. I can't count the number of times I look in the mirror and try so hard to see the beautiful person they see. The beautiful woman I want to be. I used two base that were from my good friend ~TokyoLynn , I did make the one base in the mirror a bit bigger to fit. I hope it doesn't break your rules,~TokyoLynn
.I've done this whole thing from paint, including the background
. The girl in front is me and the reflection is what I would like to look like
. Yeah I know the outfit & make-up look odd, but cut me some slack. I've never used make-up at all before except for Halloween make-up. If you like please comment.Note: I've decided to leave it as it is, so far most people like the mirror effect.

Awwwww. That's so sad! D: I am a guy so I don't really understand the whole make up thing. What I do have to say is that personally, girls who wear make up too much seem more insecure than girls who don't! They just hang out in large groups of girls who wear make up and are mean to girls who don't to boost their morale. And further more, I think the girls that don't wear make up are braver and probably a lot nicer. I am definitely not the greatest looking guy in the world and I know that. People call me annoying and they ignore me. But when that happens I just hang out with the people that don't! It doesn't matter if they are more popular, but they like you. Sorry for my super long comment. But that's just my bit of info.
I take my metaphorical hat off to you! You have shared your feelings with so many people! I could never do that.

I love some of my teachers. I don't know why, but i just love them. Not because they're nice, or they're funny, but because they're beautiful. But beautiful in my standards. A person the whole world finds ugly could be beautiful to me and vice versa.
And when i looked at those teachers, i saw the beautiful, elegant woman i could never become. And i felt nervous around some, because they were so fucking pretty and so much more hotter than me even though some were 30 years older than me and i felt so ugly next to them. Like a lump. Of course they all have to be thin too 
And though i still have issues with my weight, i've come to realize
i don't want to be the beautiful woman they are. I'm never gonna be the woman who wears white to a formal event and manage not to spill on it like they would, i'm going to be the funny, artsy girl that people will probably call a "freak" or "ugly" or "crazy". And i love it. Cuz life is so much more fun when you are who you want to be and not trying to be pretty 7/24. And i know i'm beautiful, so i don't need their approval.
I hope you feel better too

theres a typgaphy on here that say
"inner-beauty is hard to shine through make up" i know what your going through cause i feel the same way. i see all my friends go to school looking pretty and wearing makeup while im just plain jane. Then i think i will never be the beautiful girl i want to be.
when i was in fifth grade the girls ignored me because i wasn't wearing makeup like them or having the most stylish clothes. The worst part was that i didn't have any real friends in any of my classes. During sixth grade i learned that you your look prettiest when your most confident. this year i have so much self confidence that i wake up feeling pretty. I don't need makeup or fancy clothes just my self-confidence and REAL friends. Besides movie star good looks are over rated being your self is what makes you beautiful. So I'm sure you are beautiful and you don't need to be bone skinny to prove trust me im anything but bone skinny. Alot of girls go through this and it takes major guts to bring it up on a popular website. So good luck and remeber Self confidence makes you prettier then oily make up.

Here's my advice: go out and find whatever clothes/haircut/whatever makes you look like YOUR idea of amazing. Don't sweat it about your weight- just do what's healthy and everything will take care of itself. Spend your TV time ogling the sexy men instead of cross-examining the sexy women. And lastly... fashion magazines are worthless and bring no value to society whatsoever. Use them to start campfires.
Oh, one other bit: don't take other people's opinions personally. The way I look at it is that for all I know, the people around me could just be hired actors and I'm the test subject of some sick experiment. Or my whole world is just my imagination, or maybe The Matrix isn't so fictional. Bottom line is, the world's what you make of it. People can say what they like, but only YOU have the final say in just how drop-dead gorgeous you really are.
And nice artwork too- one of the best adopted bases I've ever seen.

i know exactly how you feel, i'm overweight and my family tells me i'm beautiful all the time while i think they're crazy, but i try to not let it get me down, just surround yourself with your friends and family who truly love you because they don't care about the size of your jeans, they only care about the person wearing them (:

I think you ought to see this: [link] . It's Mrs a, striking a pose she first adopted on the steps leading up to the Acropolis in Athens for the benefit of a fashion photographer. Since the original was taken she has been married and had four children! This has involved considerable weight gain. She is substantially heavier than she was back then, and certainly a lot older. Does the camerea lie? Was this Photoshopped? No, and yes. Only the foreground wall and strangely coloured ivy were heavily 'Shopped. The figure was left substantially untouched, with only minor 'exposure' enhancements and no gross changes to face or body. The fashion mags have women all over the world worrying about size and weight when all they need to think about is their appearance. Either of the figures in your delightful drawing would make most 'normal' women look like barrage balloons, I kid you not! If you look that sweet and pretty in real life you shouldn't be worrying about anything except what clothes will look best on YOU. Once you've got that sorted all you have to do is believe in yourself; trust me.

This is beautiful work
Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as braided hair and the wearing of gold jewelry and fine clothes. Instead, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God's sight. ~ 1 Peter 3:3-4
You are God's child. Because of THAT, you are beautiful

No one is perfect, and if you look on all of the supermodels in the magazines you can see its being photo shopped. And I'am allso fat, and its nothing wrong with that, not at all! People are differents for a reason!

and im sorry you feel that way, and i can relate to you, im overweight a bit and am the biggest of my friends but they still love me for who i am and im sure your friends do too!
i know you would like to look like all those other girls but thats not you, you are beautiful in your own way by simply being you. i have learned this and hopefully you can too
sorry if this isnt much help, but stay strong and you can make it through

you have to remember the people you see on t.v aren't a realistic portrait of beauty they get made up everyday and have money to get rid of any flaw through either photoshop or plastic surgery don't compare yourself to those people beside beuty is only skin deep what really matters is the personality inside (i know cliche i get it) Trust me i do, i felt the same way last year but don't focus on the negatives look at the positives t'll make yourself feel a lot better

it's a beautiful deviation!
it's not easy to build up your self-esteem but what you have to do is figure out your good points; looks aside, we all have qualities that bring us closer to the kind of person we want to be. (: figure those out and you're one step closer to liking yourself very much.
