>Even if I didn't believe I was cute, I still told myself I was. And eventually I did believe it. It takes a while, but I started from believing I wasn't even human to thinking I'm absolutely gorgeous (most of the time).. I even tell my boyfriend, "Aren't you lucky to have such a cute girlfriend?" And he always answers, "Yes I am."
I love this approach. Can your boyfriend teach my husband to do this? I'm so glad this worked for you.

> Also, a tip. I always sit up straight. I walk in a straight line and wiggle my butt (sounds silly, I know, but it helps make me feel sexy, it really does!!), with my chin up. I accept the fact that I'm clumsy, because it adds to my uniqueness.That's right. Fake it til you make it!
****Most importantly, do the things that make you feel beautiful! And accept the things that make you unique. Don't try to change them. That's what makes a person beautiful, the fact that we are all unique!
You've come a long way baby, based on the beginning of your post. I'm happy for you. What you described about your parents really made me hurt for you. But by the end I was cheering you on.
You go! You are beautiful!
