Do you really think that you’re not good enough to be admired by others just because you have a few extra pounds, a couple of pimples (which will disappear), or because you don’t look like a supermodel? Start by asking yourself a few questions: who determines what is really beautiful and what is ugly? Do you really think that to be successful all you need are exterior accessories? This concept is completely ridiculous! The beauty in each of us lies in the differences that make us unique! Toss your pessimism as far away and as quickly as possible. Forget about “this is what others like” and wake up your healthy ability to think critically. Instead, remember “it’s more important that I like myself” – why? Because what matters, especially when you are young, but is still valid at any age, is liking yourself along with all your defects. There are small imperfections that, when looked after, studied well and improved, can also make you become “an interesting type.” So it’s great to get rid of that sweet tooth, especially if it causes you problems with the your skin and your figure. Go, go, go and get yourself moving more! But the thing to keep in mind is, “I may not drop-dead gorgeous, but I like myself! And if I like myself, why shouldn’t others like me?” The mirror doesn’t have the last word, and it doesn’t even tell the whole truth. You are always the only person who gets to have the last word! Think about that!
