How do I stop ?!


Question: It seems like in today's world it's all about being perfect. As much as I know that i'll never look like the models in the mags there is still apart of me that wants to be like them REALLY, REALLY badly! Or, whenever I go out i'm always comparing myself to other people. I can't stop and I really want to stop because I'm afraid that it will get worse. Like I'll do something dumb e.g Start drinking. Any advise ?

Ok, watch this:

This is how the models end up looking so good on the ads. It's all make-up, lighting, and photo-shop. It's not real. It's impossibly perfect in order to make you feel insecure so that you will buy somebody's products - that you don't really need.
The most attractive person is the healthy one - the one who feels good.
Focus on what makes you happy. Stop looking at ads and especially stop looking at magazines - they have been documented to produce depression in 30 seconds (by getting people to compare themselves negatively - a sure fire way to feel awful).
Challenge yourself to see and acknowledge your strengths and your innate beauty. Be honest, start with what you know already and build on it.
And, by the way, if you were perfect, no one would be able to relate to you. We're all wonderfully imperfect - it makes us interesting.

I stopped when I stayed the summer in Europe.
Maybe you can't do that, but just focus on being healthy.
Learn some good makeup tricks, and get some trendy clothes that flatter your body really well.

you're probably wicked sexy and don't even know it

The fact that you know something is wrong means you're at least in the right mind.

Nobody but a therapist can really tell you how to stop- just saying "stop" doesn't work. Hmm... the best thing to do, I guess, is to realize that it's not really worth it.

Girls want to look like these models- for what? To attract men? To be more popular? What's the reason behind it?

If it's to attract men- think- would you want a man who only cares about your beauty?
Like, if you looked frumpy one day, and this guy completely blew you off, and the next day you dress up and he suddenly notices you- would you want to be with him because he changed his mind just because of looks?

If it's to be popular- why would you want to be friends with such superficial people?

I guess the only thing you can do is realize that the true friends you have don't give a crap if your 5 pound heavier/lighter.

I need somebody really really bad! Are you really bad?
