If I could change one thing.....

If I had just one oppurtiniy to change something about myself

what would I change? 

I would give myself confidence

Then when I look in the mirror, I wouldnt hate myself

I wouldnt be disgusted by my stomach, thighs or face

 

I wouldnt aviod weighing myself

I wouldnt be afraid of the number on the scale

I wouldnt need makeup every single day

I could wear tight clothes without a care in the world

If I could change just one thing I would learn to love myself

 

I wouldnt have to hide my stretch marks and scars

I wouldnt be afraid to wear Shorts for fear of what people would say

I wouldnt have to be afraid of dresses and skirts

I wouldnt have to be afraid no one would ever love me

If i could change to one thing I would give myself self esteem

 

I would smile without worrying about my crooked teeth 

I would leave the house without a face caked in foundation and powder

I would talk to everyone without worrying what they thought of me

I would eat what I wanted without counting the calories

If I could change just one thing I would be able to be me.
