It is hard for women not to be overly self critical, I am no exception!

Look at the home makeover shows. It isn't realistic to tear down a house, rebuild it, and decorate it in less then a week, but there aren't people out there criticizing those shows.

It is hard for women not to be overly self critical, I am no exception!

I do not have a genetically "gifted" body. I have to work hard everyday and I am always working on maintaining a positive self image.

I believe becoming healthy and working out saved my life by giving me the confidence and self worth to achieve my goals.

I always laugh because if I walk through the mall in my gym clothes a ponytail I get recognized but if I'm in street clothes or dressed up not very many people notice.

It is extremely hurtful when women tell me I don't understand or know how they feel.
