But I honestly would love to look like you. I'm dark as midnight and horrendously hideous in appearance. So bad that when I used to cry over how ugly I was my siblings said nothing. So bad that when I was 15 and sitting with a group of girls and they all complained about how they were not pretty other girls, be it 1, 2 or 6 chimed in saying 'don't be stupid of course you are'. I decided to join in for some silly reason and despite being best friends, once I said this it was met with a prolonged silence and awkward glances at the floor. Probably about 99.8% of the world's population is at least better looking than I am so it's really easy for people to say 'love yourself' and 'have confidence'. I guess life isn't fair and you just have to be strong, really.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1936244980142483230.post-7089809193782564092013-05-05T18:02:39.420-04:002013-05-05T18:02:39.420-04:00Well said!

I've personally struggled with my weight since puberty and only in recent years when struggling to get pregnant did I finally have a doctor care enough to find and explain a medical reason for my infertility and related inability to lose weight, all previous doctors just assume its bad eating and lack of exercise. It's so hard to fight stereotypes when even the medical and professional sectors make the same assumptions as society do!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
