I hate how women feel the need to compare themselves with models and magazine images. The Photoshop version of perfection and beauty is a lie. A lie that we have been fed over and over..... A lie that we believe.
Why would we want to believe a lie? Why would we want to believe that we are not good enough? It is definitely difficult to stand up against the images that are thrown at us every time that we shop, every time we go online. They are shoving down our throats, "Be skinny to be beautiful, loved, and successful."
What would happen if we realized that our weight, our faces, our bodies, our outside beauty, are nothing in comparison with the amazing beauty that is inside of us. You can make yourself up, you can try to cover up what you think is ugly, you can try to lose all your "fat" but you will never feel good enough.
We will never measure up with computer made images of what is defined and advertised as beauty.
Watch this video and see before and after of what celebrities look like with Photoshop.

Crazy, huh? No wonder that we are never okay with how we look!! You never see extra fat, or wrinkles, or anything that isn't perfect on celebrities. So automatically we look for that same perfection in ourselves.
Ha! How funny is that? Because their beauty is completely computer made. They are not as skinny as they look, they do not have perfect skin, they are not what they appear. I wonder how they feel knowing that they aren't good enough without being Photoshopped?
What should we take away from this?
That our beauty is unequaled. Nothing can take away from our beauty, nothing can add to it. Our beauty is from the inside out. Our heart shines through our smile and our eyes. Our worth is defined by a beauty that cannot be compared. Your beauty is unrivaled, matchless, and exquisite.
So this is my plea to you. Throw away any image that makes you feel not good enough. Throw away anything that makes you feel like you aren't beautiful, or fat, or ugly. Get rid of them.
Do not let the world lie to you anymore. Know that your beauty is unequaled. Unable to be found in anyone else. Unable to be taken away. Unable to be changed or made any better than it already is. You are perfect just the way that you are. No matter how much you weigh, how much you think you need to lose, or how much makeup you cake on.
Fight the lies. Know that you are beautiful! God sees your unequaled beauty and He is overwhelmed by you!
