Julie wrote, “These positive messages are already having an effect on me.  Like a lot of people, I struggle with weight and self-esteem issues.  I know this sounds weird, but I have this habit of taking off my glasses before looking at myself in the mirror.  That way I just see a fuzzy image of myself that is easy to ignore.  It finally hit me today – why do I think these positive messages apply to everyone but ME?  I put my glasses back on and actually looked at myself in the mirror.  And I smiled.”
