Love yourself!

Yes, it sounds so cheesy. But its true! Being a girl, I always find something I don't like. My thighs are to big, my pores are huge, my hairs so frizzy, there's always something. And its horrible! It never makes me, and any one else I imagine, feel good just focusing on the negative things all the time. All it does is bum me out and stress me out, niether of which I like to feel. And though its hard, the best way to battle this kind of stress, is yes, cheesy as it sounds, to learn to love yourself. In this link, the author shares her story and some great tips about accepting yourself, so check it out! But I thought i'd also share my story, just cause sometimes its nice to hear that other people have the same things as you happening to them to. Well at least I think so haha. But anyway, when I went into high school, all my friends were athletes, and looked like it. No one was bigger then a size one, and I was at least a 5 maybe a 7. They all had soft, straight hair and no problem with pimples. I had frizzy hair and acne. So I hated standing next to them, they always made me feel so ugly. I would get so upset over it and always try some new hairstyle, exercise, whatever to make me prettier. And it only got worse when they all got dates to the first dance and I didn't. But one day, I just got so fed up with always being so self conscious. I was getting to the point where I wouldn't do anything for fear of being judged. And it sounds crazy, but once I decided "Who Cares?!" I begin to feel more comfortable with myself. I still had slip ups, and fats days, but I was doing more and having so much more fun. And the crazy part, is that people noticed. People weren't shy around me any more, instead they reflect my confidence and were more fun too. And today, I still haven't perfected my hair or lost all the weight I would like too, but instead I value myself for what I am. I'm a great friend, a good student, and can rock sweats like nobody else :)
So just know, if you ever feel down your not the only one!
