A good way to make yourself is to find a hobby that you have an interest in. Like i play musical instruments. I focus on this so much that i dont even think about my image or personality. If you find something that you love to do and you are good at it you will build self-confidence. To everyone is beautiful and not fat no matter what they look like. Maybe if you wear makeup and try doing something nice with your hair. When i put on makeup it makes me feel like i am beautiful even though i dont think. The cover up makes me feel like no one knows what i really look like. Its a security thing. Take one day at a time and eventually you wont care anymore.
