what does the word beautiful mean to you? nice eyes, big boobs and long legs / tall, dark, handsome? i'm sure that there's gotta be at least one time in your life where your friends or family have told you that you are beautiful or unique in your own way. if so, why are so many people still so dissatisfied with the way they look? to me, beauty is skin-deep. but beauty is also how you carry yourself. there's no need for plastic surgery and crazy dieting (the newspapers are full of slimming ads), what really counts is how you look at yourself and not how others do.

let me tell you a little story. almost a year ago, i realized that i had put on quite a bit of weight. my friends and family hinted to me that i needed to do something about my weight. it was then that my good friend and i decided to embark on a weight-loss journey. i started going to the gym not just to run, but also to lift weights. through a lot of hard work and determination, i've lost about 9 to 10kg in total. my friend and i stood by each other and encouraged one another not to give up. although i have yet to achieve my ideal weight and i don't have a completely flat tummy, i will continue to work hard (sadly, i've slackened a little over the past few weeks) to reach my goal.

i admit that i don't have a perfect figure, neither do i have flawless skin or an ample chest. but when i look at myself in the mirror everyday, the person smiling back at me is one who got back her self confidence and it's all that truly matters.
