This is Me

This is what I look like, this is who I am. I would've posted this picture in my profile but it is too big and I'm technologically challenged. I just didn't want to choose another picture. I hate the way I look and this is the best picture of me that I have. People are always telling me that I'm pretty and that I shouldn't put myself down. They just don't understand. It's a low self-esteem thing. When you live in a world where being beautiful is everything and you are overweight, then it's hard to keep confidence up. No one understands. The only one that remotely gets me is one of my best friends who also has low self-esteem. But she doesn't need it. She has people constantly telling her that she is gorgeous and she is. If it wasn't for my great family, I'd want to be her.
