I went to vegas a week ago for my 21st b-day, and i was so self concious about they way i looked, how my hair was done, if my makeup was good, and i felt fat... now i am 5'0'' and 115 pounds.. so i know that i am not fat.. but i have a lake of confidence, i saw this girl in vegas and she is a good friend, she weighs more then me, but she had so much confidence in her body and herself, and i thought to myself "i want to feel like that" ... also i had a baby in may 06' and i lost all the weight,,.. people always say "NO WAY, you had a baby, you look great!!!" so i don't think there is any reason for me to feel like this. but i still do..
what can i do, to heighthen my confidence, any suggestions.
please no put downs.

Look in the mirror. Tell yourself that you are beautiful. Anything that you don't like then change it. Don't worry about what other people think about you. God made you!!!!!
Ecclesiastes's 3:11(NIV)
God has made everything beautiful in its time.

Obviously you know that the way a person looks doesnt have anything to do with the way they feel about themselves. Being confident isnt a look its a state of mind. Sounds like you care to much about what people think of you, therefore, you try to live up to their expectations. If you like your hair a certain way, wear it like that, if you look good in certain colors, buy cloths to compliment that. if you get down on yourself alot about your weight, go to the gym and get a workout in. get active and socialize with people, you'll learn how to interact with them and it will help you come out of your shell. those things will help a little, but like I said, its all in your state of mind. you can decide whether or not you will feel like **** or you are "the ****" you have to make the decision every day that you are going to be happy with who you are, and the rest will fall into place.

sounds like people take advantage of how they make you feel even though they might see you as beautiful, thin, maybe successful, they feel extremely better about themselves to put someone down who otherwise shouldn't i would dismiss people's negative remarks, if you constantly worry about being who you think they want you to be or keeping up you will never live for yourself and move up and forward in your life. Think of it as they have some issues not you. You don't need anyones acceptance to validate you

say this outloud.... "i am beautiful" now yell it, now scream it, not go to the mirror, i want you to point out 10 things you like about yourself, go tell someone, its not bragging, its celebrating what greatness you have, because you are a wonderful person, and you deserve to be happy :)
