Lately I've noticed a trend; we expect to be loved and appreciated, but we can't love and appreciate our own gorgeous selves. Why? I know people in this world that are the most handsome, most beautiful men and women and yet they look at themselves in disgust and I just can't understand it.

So, in light of this current "low-self-love" epidemic, I propose a challenge to you, my readers and fellow friends.

Love yourself.

Here's what you do:

1. Every morning when you wake up, look in the mirror and tell yourself that you are gorgeous, beautiful, fabulous, fantastic, stellar, whatever! Say it with a smile, because I've found that saying it with a smile is much more appealing to not only you, but to your body as well.

2. Nelson Mandella once said (I'm paraphrasing.) "Who am I to be fabulous?" And the real question is, who are you not to be? Ask yourself every day, at least twice a day, who you think you are to be so fabulous. Are you a great writer? A fantastic singer or dancer? Maybe you can do some damn cool tricks on your skate/surfboard and just want to be recognized for that? Or maybe, just maybe, you have a one in a million personality that makes you fabulous. Ask yourself, and see if you don't come up with an answer that will make you just as fabulous as who you want to be.

3. Every day find a new thing about yourself that you like. Eyes, ears, nose, mouth, legs? What part of your body is just so freaking irresistable that even you wanna kiss it? (Lol!) If you, one day, say you have fabulous cleavage or a sexy pair of legs, accentuate them! Wear a low cut shirt or a short skirt! If you're a guy... well... don't wear anything too low cut. ;P Seriously though, if you're a guy, just roll with it. If you walk around like you've got an ego as big as your *cough* EHEM, then baby you're gonna have an ego as big as that! Don't let negativity of other's get you down.

4. Don't listen to the media or look to them for advice. They will tell you, man or woman, what you need to look like and how to get to that point of good-lookingness. (Yes, I made up a word.) Just go ask a friend if you look nice, everyone needs a compliment to get them through the day.


My challege to you is, readers, send me a photo (link or post it on here or on my Facebook account) and tell me what you think looks best about you. Tell me how this blog has changed your image, let me know the things you've learned on how to love you and be who you are.


Sound like a plan, readers?
Let's have some fun with this!
I'll have a small prize for the Top 3 photos I recieve, they'll be judged by two other people as well as myself so let's get this rolling!!



I love you all.
So you better love you too!


Sincerely,

The Fat Girl
