No really, I am. I won\u2019t wear shorts, because everyone will notice my fat white legs with varicose veins.\u00a0 I won\u2019t wear a bathing suit either. Why? Everyone is looking at me and commenting on how bad I look in it.\u00a0 Oh and I can\u2019t wear that dress either, I\u2019m too fat for it.\u00a0 Stripes not having it either, it will make me look wider.<\/p>\n<p>To pose for a picture is like sending me on a death sentence.

We can \u201cfix\u201d our image to the outside world. However, what is most important is fixing our image in our own little world.<\/p>\n<p>We are created in God\u2019s image. We are given free will over our body and mind. I think we need to adjust our thinking, and see the beauty within ourselves.<\/p>\n<p>So I will attempt to smile more for the camera, and photo bomb others.\u00a0 What a site that will be.\u00a0 Hopefully when people see those pictures, they will smile and say, \u201cShe\u2019s sure having a good time\u201d.
