Hi, my name is Claudia and after seeing so many posts of so many confident women it’s inspired me to post my picture here. I’m currently in the low 160’s high 150’s ( 158 last time i checked). I’ve always been very insecure and body conscious , but lately it’s been hindering my progress with friends and my social life. I have the tendency to see someone pretty and automatically categorize them as perfect. No one is really perfect and i don’t think that being skinny would put someone closer to being perfect. yet it still happens because of all of the things i see around me. My parents arent exactly supportive and ive always been told that if i just lost 5,10,20 pounds i would be so pretty. Why can’t i be pretty with my current weight? Anyway, from someone who is in the processes of learning to love and accept her body and accept and believe the compliments she gets don’t let anybody tell you what pretty is, pretty is what you make it to be. and don’t ever feel useless, or pathetic, or worthless because you’re just wasting energy worrying about things that are not true. YOU COUNT.
