writes: I feel jealous of my boyfriend's ex-girlfriend. They're still friends and that isn't really a problem; she's really cool. The problem is more of the fact that I'm comparing my looks to hers. She's really tall. I'm only 4'9. She's extraordinarily beautiful and I view myself as just average. Stuff like that. How do I stop this before it gets out of control?

But he's with you, isn't he? And that means more than all those little comparisons you're making. He wants you, not her :).

I think the only way around this is for you to build up your own self confidence... Take better care of yourself, if you're not already. Get your hair and nails done, buy nice clothes. Go see a make-up assistant at the department store and get some tips. Anything to make you feel better about yourself.
I've felt like this before about a friend my boyfriend had, so every time we saw her, I dressed up to the nines. It turned out in the end that she thought I was beautiful, which for my low self esteem, was completely beyond my comprehension!
Hope that helps a bit!
