Confidence...

I have never been a very confident woman. I guess it stems from years of being overweight. I don't date much and that could be because most men detect that I'm not very confident.

Last weekend, I went to a Vogue Party. Basically, the party consists of women getting glammed up and taking pictures. I never thought I was very photogenic, so the first one I was invited to, I didn't go to. After I saw everybody's pictures from that one, I decided, what the hell, I'll do it.

During the photoshoot, I felt so...weird. I thought, "Boy, these pictures are going to be horrible." I thought I was probably looking awkward in every pose. The photographer was nice enough to say, "Are you married?" I told her no. Then she asked if I had a boyfriend. No again. She said, "Well you will after they see these pictures." After everybody took their pictures, the photographer put them together in slideshow. When mine came up on screen, I was AMAZED. I realized at that point that with a little extra attention to my appearance, I am a beautiful woman. I will now say that with the help of that photoshoot, I am starting to feel a little more confident. I am beautiful. I just have to bring it out. Here are some of my favorites:
