You can't tell me there's not one thing you like about yourself..... Your beautiful red hair!!!!! Start with that.. If you can afford it, go and get your hair done. Now, every girl who has had their hair done KNOWS how great you feel walking out of the salon with your head held high, knowing you look absolutely beautiful. Start small. Focus on one thing at a time. Start with one thing you like.. Once you feel comfortable *knowing* and actually knowing that you have one beautiful asset about you, then move on to something else...

So, you could start with getting your hair cut or just styled and after you feel comfortable knowing that you have beautiful hair move on to your wonderfully shaped eyes, or your cute little nose, or another feature that you really like.... That's how I did it... I really can't tell you that I did it by meditating or through religion. I started by accepting a feature that I liked and once I learned how beautiful that feature was, I moved on to another. Once I ran out of features that I liked, I started with ones that I didn't hate. Take for instance the fact that I have chicken legs. Now, I can say at least I don't have meaty legs. Or at least I had the cute nick name Flamingo when I was younger. I started with things that I liked, which helped boost my self esteem. Then I accepted the things that I didn't like and found ways to turn them into positives. And I didn't even need a therapist to tell me that. I did it all on my own.

You should realize just how beautiful you are. With gorgeous red hair like that, you should be the center of attention, not lurking in the shadows hun. Oh, what I would do for hair like that...... You really couldn't imagine..
