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.

We all tend to be very critical f ourselves. Please love yourself as you are: lovely, young and extremely talented. Please do not fall for the hype! Enjoy your life, sweets!

I've felt that way too, mainly because of my acne, but then when I look closer I see a pretty cute woman looking back almost foreign to me, but in the end when I feel bad I blame the media for making pretty skinny when in fact I've see bunches of fat women look so pretty, and women who are just chunky look pretty, and when I tell myself pretty is only what I make of it then I make myself pretty in the metal since! this picture really speaks for a lot of women and teens these says how when they look in the mirror they see someone who doesn't look pretty but wants to get there, even skinny people do that to themselves and then go all anorexic and unhealthy. That is why comparing yourself to other women is not the best thing to do, I've compared myself to my three older pretty and skinny older sisters and it just doesn't work out for me. So yeah... I am sorry for he lecture and you probably herd it like a million times, but listen to the people who say your pretty, they are probably right!

I think it's best to appreciate yourself as you are because this life is the only one you're gonna have and why waste on it on always being unhappy? Just because your outside isn't to your satisfaction, the most important part is enjoying who are - personality / imagination wise. We all get bumed out by our outside but guess what? That's not the only aspect of who you are! I can't tell you "no" or anything, all I can say is that if you start with small goals to Improve How You Want To Be then that's awesome. Don't change, just improve. And yeah.. Im just babbling now x___x sorry

This is wonderful, sweetheart. Just remember that you are GORGEOUS and that those "beautiful" girls in the magazines starve themselves and are photoshopped to look like they do.

Great concept, especially the meaning behind it is well represented.
My way of dealing with self image is by thinking (and acting
