My Thoughts on Weight and Just Being Yourself

How is it that most girls who are just a bit overweight think that they are ugly? I ask this question, but I already know the answer. I used to think this way. "If only I were skinnier, I'd be beautiful." I mean, that mindset is just not healthy. It is totally not good for your self-image. I say this, and I've always known this.....but, still I thought that way. *sigh* It makes me sad and a little aggravated all at the same time...this mindset. About two years ago, the summer before my senior year at high school, I started Weight Watchers. I started gaining self-confidence with the weightloss. Started getting more comfortable with myself all-around. You know, just thawing out and being able to be myself. Moving from shy-silent-can't-look-you-in-the-eyes girl to quiet-observant-stare-you-down chick. Ha! ^_~ I used to care about what people think. And actually, to some extent I still do I guess. Though, it is not in an unhealthy way. I mean, doesn't everybody? Anyway, why bother with what other people think? You can't please everyone and if you try, you will just lose yourself...and you won't have a grasp on who you are. You will wilt, then, a little at a time.

Just be yourself.
