\So sometimes I get terribly perplexed by my perception. I often see myself as a highly unattractive, fat, gross person whom no one can love. When I am getting ready, I don't feel like I could be beautiful at all. However, sometimes I am surprised then, by a picture of me..that I don't think is terrible and reminded again that my perception is off. This being the case. I'm pretty sure most of you would agree that I am not an ugly ogre so quite simply and realistically, it must be my perception that is off. I think my perception of things is a huge part of what I sometimes struggle with. I can be highly unrealistic.
