I’ve been told by family and freiends that I am beautiful, but I just can’t see it. I’ve always had low self esteem, since the 2nd grade because I use to be overweight and know thatI’m 17 and much smaller, but not skinny either I still feel fat and ugly. I’ve never been kissed, gone on a date or anything with a boy for that matter and I’m so tired of being the only one of my friends who has never had a boyfriend because of that I threw in the towel. I’ve stopped allowing myself to develop crushes on ppl and if i do i remind myself that they don’t have a crush on me so why bother. I’ve stopped wearing makeup because it dosen’t do me justice and I’ve stopped obessing about getting a boyfriend although I still make sure I look decent in public. Instead of worrying about boys I have been exercising and eating healthier.

How to be beautiful
It made me
ELATED!!!
 "Feeling beautiful isn't easy, especially when you try to do it by the world's standards."
How I did it: Being beautiful is honestly about the way you see yourself. You are made in the image of God, and that's all that really matters. Outward beauty is futile. Man looks on the outside, but God looks on the heart. Lessons & tips: I learned not to be vain and to be content with who I am. I can't change the way my nose is shaped, my freckles, my boobs, or my weight, I simply have to learn to be content with it and realize that if you are beautiful on the outside, it will reflect in both areas of your life. Resources: I read I Peter 3:3-4 in the Bible, it really helped me.

harvest bread, cleaning, brainstorming lesson plans, LIFE plans, kissing babies, laughing, taking photos of children drumming outdoors on the hill, thinking, planning, smiling, laughing, sending love notes to friends.
Your words can’t hurt me, though you try.

I want to add some drama to my look. Um, my look? Yeah. Sloppy ponytail, leggings or jeans and a long tank top or tshirt.
I hesitate to put this as a goal knowing I won’t have any money to invest into it for a bit. First car stuff then furniture then clothes/hair.
Anyway, I’m thinking chrissy hynde bangs, but a bit softer, red lips and functional but feminine clothing.
I have to try to look decent despite my being a daycare lady, I’m still a woman ( I think)

Let me preface by saying this, I’ve been very small chested my entire life. I’ve always envied busty shapely women over my own more athletic build. Really no need for a bra at all…
Currently my breasts are full of milk and certainly not large, but large by my standards.
So today after my coffe smoothie fiasco, one of my daycare kids asks to dance so I turn on Beck and they start dancing. I am feeling giddy at the prospect of finally getting a car so I start dancing with them (acting totally silly). they are cracking up and in awe at the same time as this is out of character for me (see have fun goal, I’ve been a stick in the mud for some time now). I’m dancing around acting crazy and OUCH. I have to put on a bra.
Boobies are burdensome. hehehe.

after having a baby can I use “I just had a baby” as an excuse to look an utter mess all the time??
18 years or so?
I would look so much better if I lost some weight though, and put some effort into my appearance.

but my stomach is still soooo gross.
Doesn’t matter. No one will see it anyway.
dramatic Lucille Ball Waaaaaaahhhhh
io_ragazza has too much to do...
I haven’t felt beautiful in a long time. starting with wearing my contact lenses more and bothering to put make up on… Need to lose a few pounds before changing my wardrobe though.

I hope I’m not left with the lose skin thing, nervous. I’ve not had that issue before but will see. I’m loving myself bosomy though it’s a smidge uncomfortable at the moment.
I’ve got to stop crying so much, it’s got to be aging me. :)
