About this ebook
No matter how often you hear that you look great or that you’re luckier than others, it’s still impossible to avoid the ever-present pressure to be skinny like a model on a billboard. Advertising everywhere focuses on an unrealistic ideal, an image of a woman who looks incredible in every piece of clothing she wears.
Of course, that image is almost entirely impossible. Most women in ads these days are airbrushed, slimmed down with Photoshop, and would be unrecognizable if you saw them in person. Their secret to looking great is no secret - they are enhanced by the best computer technology available and they’ve got teams of hair and make-up stylists making them look as good as possible for each photo shoot.

Looking at someone who has been photoshopped and trying to be like her is not going to make you feel good. The way to improve the way you feel about yourself is to focus on you first - your body is never going to look that way so start accepting yourself as you are.
Start with the features about yourself that you like. Maybe you have great skin, or you really like your arms and back. Or maybe you’ve got the kind of great breasts that skinny models will never have. If you have to compare yourself to someone, think about women who don’t have enough to eat and remember that, actually, you are fortunate to have wardrobe problems and not nourishment problems.
And it turns out that most women
