in 2 weeks i am going to visit my friend on the east coast and i haven't seen him for 9 years. i want him to think i look pretty good but i have really low self confidence and that makes me feel ugly even tho i kno im not. so is there anyway i can kinda build self esteem by the end of the month? i just want to feel confident.

Also just watch what ya eat! Dont diet but if you really dont need a cookie dont eat it ya know~! Maybe also cut back on watching tv....for me im obsessed with magazines like us weeklt, cosmo, glamour,vogue etc...and the more i read them the jealouser (i dunno if thats a word..) i get ya know! Also, get a calander, and for everyday write down something you like about urself, or something u did that u were proud of no matter how small it was (not eat candy...etc) Then at the end of the week if you could compliment yourself everyday, go and buy something!!! it will feel rewarding~! Just try and up your self esttem! Youll do great and have so much fun with ur friend! PLEASE tell me how it goes and if what i said helped~! xoox

Candy_09 answered Friday July 9 2004, 1:00 pm: I'm the same way, in fact I've got a similar situation...And what really helps me is 2 pamper myself and make my hair look nice and wear makeup and do stuff I'm really good at. I don't know if it would work for you, everyone's different, but it's worth a shot. [ Candy_09's advice column | Ask Candy_09 A Question ]
