Who's That Girl?

Photo Details
Laurie9585 Sweets Registered: January 2007 Posts: 286	This is my layout for the Sugar Free Challenge. Here is the journaling: This is my thrid grade class picture and I will never forget that day. My friend Joanie and I had the same sweater on but mine was lavendar and hers was blue. I loved that sweater and really felt good about the way I looked when I left my house. That morning when we got to school we both walked to the lunch room to buy her lunch ticket and the lunch lady commented on how beautiful her sweater was and how pretty she looked and said nothng to me. I can remember feeling hurt and ashamed that I wasn’t petite and pretty like my friend and I walked away hating my chubby cheeks and body. I lost a little bit of myself that day and through my grade school and high school years, as I continued to struggle with my weight my self esteem took a beating. Even today, no matter how much I work on improving my outer appearance that sad, insecure little girl is still inside and very much a part of who I am. Thankfully, I have been blessed with wonderful family and friends who love me no matter what and I am finally learning to love myself. There are still days where I feel like the ugly duckling who doesn’t fit in but slowly I am learning that I am a smart, funny, attractive, fabulous woman who really doesn’t care what other people think or say. It has been a long, tough road to discovering the real me and I am really looking forward to getting to know myself better in the years to come. Jan ‘07 Kit is Girls on Film by Robin Carlton. I love you tape by Laura Deceatis. Silver swirlies are by Shawna Clingerman. Notebook paper is by Gina Miller. Fonts are georgia and Last Words. TFL!

Oh Laurie!! This is so moving and beautiful, I had so many moments like that growing up with a 'beautiful' older sister, it's such an awful feeling... I think you are gorgeous now, just as you were then, and I'm glad you feel good about yourself, because you should!! Okay, I'll stop babbling - beautiful page!!
