If the answers to these questions are "no," then why are you continuing to go through this process? The sooner one realizes how self-esteem affects everything in ones life, the faster you will recognize that a change might be necessary.

When I looked in the mirror, I was not satisfied with what the mirror reflected back.
I came to the realization that griping about my appearance was not going to change anything. I had to stand up and make the change happen.That is when I decided to make a life-altering decision and started eating frequent healthy meals and working out consistently.Once this occurred, my life was never the same. This experience gave me the confidence I needed to pursue my hopes and dreams, and also appreciate the turbulence that will only make me a stronger and more confident individual.
