I've have a weight problem. I know I do. Everyone one I know tells me i'm skinny and hott and stuff like that and I don't believe it I think that i'm really ugly. I know it's a low self esteem thing but I just don't feel that way. I don't know what to do. I look in the mirror and I see a fat ugly person and I've always made wishes and everything to be pretty and skinny. And then when I go out with friends or something then I get whisled at and get told i'm hott and have even strangers talk to me. I don't believe i'm hott AT ALL! I don't know what to do should I believe my friends and try to see it myself what????? I don't believe it!

NicoleMarie answered Wednesday August 4 2004, 1:08 pm: First, throw away all of your girly magazines. Cosmo, Marie Claire, YM, all of them. These magazines are misleading and give you the wrong ideas about what image should be about. You need to love yourself, no matter what you see when you look in the mirror. If your friends say you are attractive, and you get responses from men as well, than girl, you are good looking. It might be a good idea to speak to a counselor regarding the self esteem issue. I am only saying this because i have been in your shoes. Learning how to be confident has made all the difference in my life. And it starts with loving yourself. Don't be so hard on yourself. It doesnt really matter what other people think anyways. Its all about what you think. [ NicoleMarie's advice column | Ask NicoleMarie A Question ]
