Everyone has imperfections.  No one's perfect. Since I was about 10 I always pointed out my imperfections. I told my self  "I'm too fat here, look at my thighs why can't be like other girls?" I even wished that i could be skinny so i could fit in those smaller size clothes. One day i looked at my self in the mirror and called my self ugly pointing out how fat i am. Two days later i stopped eating, my Mom would offer me dinner but i would come up with the excuse that "I'm not hungry" [Keep in mind im only 10 at this time]. I started to get sick and still refused to eat. I tried to have confidence but nothing was working. I didn't even want to look at my self in the mirror. My own family called me fat. One of my family members said "Oh, wow you lost alot of weight". That even put my confidence level down even more it was before. When i tried on my swimsuit, i would just take it off and refused to have fun. Now at my age I relized every one has flaws and even though in magazines you might see just these "perfect" model body types they might have low confidence themselves.  Look in the mirror one more time and say your beautiful and don't try to change your figure to fit the "perfect body type".  If someone is trying to bring your confidence level down you tell them "No, I'm beautiful in every way I can be, I'm never changing for NO ONE!".

"INHALE CONFIDENCE, EXHALE DOUBT."

But don't get too cocky.
