I imagine it must be hard to "convince" someone to love us when we don't even love ourselves...


Like if we can't find anything to love, how should an outsider identify these things?....


My bf and I loved each other long before we actually got together, and by the time we did (years went by) I loathed myself so much that it greatly contributed to the end of our relationship.


While we were broken up I was working on myself, (for myself) and by the time we got back in touch (a year later) he immediately identified the change in me, and that lead to us getting back together.


Anyway my point is this, its not about being fat or thin, beautiful or ugly... I'm skinny and not terrible to look at and still struck out. Its about loving yourself, accepting yourself, having confidence in yourself and your ability to bring something positive to someone else's life.


That is what makes us attractive, not what a scale or mirror says, because if it were up to those two gadgets, everyone with less than desirable genes would die alone.
