yup. im cheesey enough to watch miss natural beauty. the women all had to have pictures taken of their worst bits to boost their self confidence.
that made me think... i actually hate every little piece of me. every inch.. and although everyone says the medias to blame for poor self image, i blame my ballet teacher, as stupid as it sounds.
i started hating myself when i was about eight years old.. i was "pudgy." my ballet teacher (who was enviously skinny and pretty )told me i was too fat to dance properly. so i just kept on going to my lessons (which were private) and didnt tell anyone for fear id hear the same thing from them. for a few weeks afterwards i ate little to nothing and danced my heart out. it made no difference so i gave up ballet altogether.
looking back i wish id told somebody. maybe parents could be to blame too?
