in me, I had had enough! I started doing my hair and make-up every day, instead of whenever I felt like it, I learned how to accentuate my assets and ignore the mean nasty things people had to say. I didn’t look at the floor anymore, I looked people in the eye, sometimes I had to force myself, but I did it, you would be surprised at how hard it is for some random stranger to make a smart fat remark when they have to look you in the eyes to do it. My life has changed so much, and the way I look at myself is something I want so badly for other women to feel. This is why I write about issues that promote a size positive attitude, because we all deserve to feel pretty. When you feel good about yourself, the diets and exercise will follow when you are ready. So, go out there with your head up and look at the people who have made you feel bad about yourself, you might be amazed at how unattractive they are, from the inside out, and that kind of ugly cannot be fixed. I promise it is absolutely okay to look at yourself in the mirror, and say “I Feel Pretty” just as you are right now. Now you go try it.
