I have to say I felt uncomfortable knowing that my skin looked worse than I thought it did. I started to obsess about my skin when others stood too close. But after awhile I stopped beating myself up and let go (finally taking my own advice :) ). I have to remind myself that no one, not even super-models, look like the air-brushed perfection on the cover of beauty and fashion magazines.

UGH! I spent so much time looking in that stupid mirror, noticing all of these "horrible" things on my face I never noticed before. Luckily I don't have one at my house!!!! I would go crazy!
