I know what you both mean. There are days where I feel like "look out world, here I come." Usually, what makes me feel bad is a picture of me, which is obviously what did it this time, or trying on clothes. My big problem is that I have gained weight over the past couple years, stress eating (and beer), and I just don't feel like me. I've always been active, sporty, love to dance...but now I don't feel comfortable in my own skin at all. I know I am the only one who can change that...and with all the other changes I am making right now I see myself headed in the right direction, but it's so FREAKING HARD!

Yet, I can see someone who thinks they're "average" looking and think "what the hell are you talking about? You're a very attractive person." Why is it that we can easily see the beauty (inner and outer...inner lending much to outer) in others but are so critical of ourselves?
