Ok ladies, a sensitive poll about self-esteem...

[Julie in CA]

If I think I'm fat, beautiful, brilliant, and driven, am I still thinking badly about myself because "fat" is on the list. I'm awesome. Fat and awesome. :D

:D I think you're okay.

As long as you can think of yourself as awesome, I don't think you're in self-esteem danger. :lol:

This is me the rest of the month. (I like your dad!)

 

He was awesome. Should have had 12 girls to raise, because he did a great job!

 

And to the rest on the thread worrying about fat, remember this:

 

FAT IS BETTER THAN FRAIL! My MIL is a very tiny, frail Chinese woman who is the only one of her siblings to make it to adulthood (WWII food shortages). She's also fairly vain, but on more than one occasion has admired my "meat" because she says I have a fighting chance if I would ever fall sick.
