I Struggle With My Body Image

I Struggle..

Written on July 28th, 2008

I've been told so many things about how I look... some good, mostly bad. I try to think positively but it's really, really hard. Especially when I'm feeling good and someone asks me, "How come you ugly people don't know you're ugly?" Or when a family member tells me out of nowhere that I need to lose weight.

Disregarding everyone else's opinions, I think I look fine. I'm working on that though... I wanna be happy with how I look.

    I hear ya! Seems that as I've gotton older, I dont care as much of how people think. I've had a skin disorder all my life, so I know how cruel ppl can be. Now, even tho is still feel self-conscious about how I look, when ppl stare at me, I just stare back. I dont fuss about it anymore, if they dont like the way I look, then,,, dont look!
