So scrolling through Facebook - I see this link to this Dove commercial. I hit play, and I start to cry when watching the video.

I normally describe myself as short, fat and ugly. People get so annoyed with me when I do - but it is how I feel. I am not beautiful, I am not smart. I've just been lucky in some respects (mainly with my job).
This campaign asks one to choose between "Average" and "Beautiful". I would say that I'm below average.
There was a time at the Port Authority Bus Terminal in New York City when I was riding down an escalator opposite one going up. A few kids started to "moo" - it took me a few seconds to realize they were "moo-ing" at me. I wanted to run and to hide. To think I was ONLY a size 12 at the time and I thought I was huge and hideous. (Now at a size 20, how I would give to be that 12 again.)
