As I said in a previous post, girls can be much harder on themselves than necessary and many of our biggest insecurities are ones that no one even notices.
I know when I look at people I focus more on what makes them beautiful and I envy that about them…I don’t focus on their flaws.

Dove did this really great commercial that shows a perfect example of women being too hard on themselves and seeing only the bad and never the good. It was really touching to see the difference between how they described themselves and how a stranger did. 
No one is perfect and everyone is beautiful in their own way whether they believe it or not.

How would you describe yourself to someone drawing you?

Girls really kill me with their insecurities. My friends are always saying things to me like “I need to lose 10 pounds.” or “I’m really starting to break out.” or “Look at the wrinkles I already have on my forehead!”

And as I was washing my face tonight a thought kept ringing in my head over and over again: “Really? You think you need to lose weight? Your weight is my goal weight.” “Really?? I dont see a single blemish or pimple on your face right now.” “Really? What wrinkles? You’re clearly imagining them.” 

We’re all so much harder on ourselves, no matter who we are, when we dont need to be. I don’t care if you have the most perfect body in the world with a flawless complexion, there is still something that you are going to find wrong with yourself. And it’s all so silly. Just love the body you’re in! Realize that whatever you are insecure about, the rest of the world does not even notice, not even a little bit. I’m sure 99% of them envy you and only see beauty.

 Love yourself. You’re beautiful!
