Vanity and Accepting Myself

Vanity has been around forever it seems. We really can't change the world on this. The models in the magazines, the actors and actresses on TV and in movies, they all have those perfect figures and bodies. Well, not all of them, but most of them. Even the older ones have those distinguishing looks about them. And you know how hard most of them work on those looks.

I am an average American woman. I take the average American woman's size. But even with that, I look at people my age on TV and I feel I come up short. Watching the previous video I posted before this post, shows me the truth. Why do I want to try to look like somebody else? Why do I? I guess growing up with TV showed me that: I was not good looking enough so I needed make-up, I was too fat so I needed to diet and buy diet food or even take diet pills, my hair was the wrong color so I need to color it, I stank so I needed perfume and in general I just wasn't good enough. So that is why I guess I always wanted to just be somebody else besides me.

But today I am throwing away that view. Today I accept me for me and toss out all those old worn out beliefs about how I am not good enough just the way I am! I still do shower daily though. :-)
