How Do You See Yourself?

If someone told me to describe myself and point out the beauty within, I would probably say:

• I’m fat
• My butt is big
• I have big hips
• My boobs are not proportionately fat with the rest of my body

The only thing I would say that I like about my physical self is the color and size of my eyes.  I love my eyes.  Always have.  I think the color is pretty and let’s face it…it’s the only part of me that can’t get fat.

How to See Your Inner Beauty

How sad is that?  But it’s true. That is how I see myself.  There are times I wonder how in the world my husband is still attracted to me.  He is always telling me he loves me and whatnot (you know what the “whatnot” stands for *wink *wink) and at first I didn’t believe him.  But now I do.  I just wish that I saw myself like he sees me. I wish I saw the beauty he sees. And then I saw this video by Dove:

While I think this video is beautiful and amazing, it made me sad that so many people (like myself) see themselves so differently than how other people see them.  I do wish that they would have used an overweight woman.

I wish I could meet with one of those forensic artists.  It would be nice to see how someone else sees me. I know what my husband says to me, but it would be nice to physically see it.

What do you think of the video?
