Don’t feel beautiful.

Don’t feel beautiful.

I’ve always felt that other females are really beautiful. Ever since I was a young girl. I’ve been over weight my whole life, 4 weeks ago I started to change my eating habits. I’m now with a nutritionist and she’s guiding me.

I see other women and become jealous because they have beautiful bodies, nice things and look amazing in photos.

I have a great personality and many people actually like me. They say I’m funny and kind. I know that’s important and looks are temporary but I can’t help but feel.. ugly.

When I do take a photo (rare) I view myself as the UGLIEST one.

You would never guess this looking at me.
I would like as much advice as possible.

I’m wanting to feel beautiful in my own skin.
Thank you.

Beauty is only skin deep and is in the eye of the beholder. Having a positive self esteem is important but stressing about being beautiful is actually ugly.

Nobody feels beautiful when they look at a photo of themselves. We see our flaws and how everyone else looks beautiful. Some of us just learn to live with it, fake it etc.
Its like hearing a voice recording of yourself. It always sounds wrong. Even the most stunning actresses talk about how unconfortable it is to watch there own movies..

You've made up this idea of "beauty" from the books, the tv shows and the magazine's. Time to put all those thoughts and ideas in the bin and focus on what REAL AND RAW beauty is. Because that's the best kind of beauty. Start believing in yourself. You don't have to be up to anyone else's standards of beauty, only yours!!

This is probably terrible advice but I bit the bullet and got Botox and lip fillers the other day and omg I feel a million dollars. It’s actually not as scary as everyone makes out and I feel really good about myself. I’ve also started to pick healthy choices and exercise. I’m in my 30s and I just felt like I’d aged terribly, I havnt gone over the top with it like some do but self care is definitely worth it.

Self-care is definitely important too.

I always live by the motto, you dont have to hate yourself or your body to want to change it.

Finding a healthy balance between figuring out what parts you can embrace and love for the way they are. And things you don't like and can change to suit how you feel you should be.

I've currently got braces because my teeth were something I just couldn't get past. I'm not the prettiest person either but I've learned to embrace all those parts of me that I used to hate, and still some days do hate..

You are not the only one!
My friends, family and colleagues are gorgeous and I am the ugly duckling.
I avoid all photos, mirrors, reflective windows etc as I am so ashamed of myself.
Everyone says you look nice... but I don’t believe them. I feel as they are saying it about my personality... that’s nice, but I want to be physically beautiful too.
The kicker... you wouldn’t know I feel this way. I have gotten good at avoiding photos that no one ever seems to notice... and I am a happy, smiley, go get them type of person.
