You are beautiful!

DID YOU KNOW THAT YOU'RE BEAUTIFUL?

Somebody pretty special thinks you are,
so you must be!

As a woman, I understand how difficult it is to see beauty in ourselves, especially when we don't wear a size 2. However, when you discover the true meaning of beauty...it's simple to see....
We are beautiful!

Beauty isn't about the perfect body..it's about the person you are on the inside...Yes that's right, as trite as it may be,
beauty is truly "skin deep"!

Did you know.....

If shop mannequins were real women,
THEY'D BE TOO THIN TO MENSTRUATE.

There are 3 billion women who don't look like supermodels
and ONLY 8 WHO DO.

Marilyn Monroe wore a SIZE 16.

If Barbie were a real woman,
she'd have to walk on all fours due to her proportions.

The average American woman weighs 144 lbs.
and wears between a size 12 and 14.

One out of every 4 college aged women has an eating disorder.

The models in the magazines are airbrushed
THEY ARE NOT PERFECT!!

A physchological study in 1995 found that 3 minutes spent looking at models in fashion magazines caused 70% of women to feel guilty and shameful.

Models who twenty years ago weighed
8% less than the average woman,
today weigh 23% less.

Awakening

She awoke one morning from a wonderous dream.
Taking in that first conscious breath
releasing the impurities that haunted her.

Rising from the bed,
she gazed in the mirror
that she'd avoided for many years.
Unable to take her eyes from
the image that stared back at her,
unfamiliar with the feeling that came over her.

She closed her eyes for one brief moment
to savor the feeling of contentment.
The woman staring back at her
was the woman she tried for so long to see.

Beauty exhuded from her,
a tear formed
ne'er to fall upon her soft, rosey cheek.
A smile so brilliant
came across her face.
She found the answer
she'd been desparately searching for.

Oh that wonderous dream
had become her reality.
Never again to see herself
as she once did.

Far from perfect, she realized
the beauty she possesed was far more pleasing
than the beauty she'd never acheive.
This beauty will last forever.

Please send this to every woman you know.
If you don't, nothing bad will happen,
but if you do, something good will:
you will boost someone's self-esteem!!!

Thank you very much
