You are not alone in this. At one point when I was younger, I hated myself for more than just what I looked like and because of this, I just avoided my reflection. I managed to go almost half a year without ever seeing myself. When I finally did look, I hated it, everything about it. I had hair so long that it wrapped itself around my whole face, I had to push it out of the way to see me, I stood hunched and I was dangerously underweight. I was a walking corpse of a being. This was all at a time when I was immensely depressed, I had even thought of suicide. I simple could not live being what I was but, instead of dying, I found an alternative. I asked my family to teach me how to walk properly, embarrassed as I was to have asked, I did it and it worked, I straightened up, cut my hair and started taking care of myself and now I have never felt better. I even got a modeling job. That damnable face I thought I saw was good enough to be put in the industry.
The point of this is not to boast. The point of this is to show you that whatever you are, if YOU do not like it then YOU can change yourself until you are something that makes you feel good. That is not to say, "be a slut and show cleavage" or anything like that, what I mean is, if you work hard enough and take care of yourself, give yourself less reason to be doubftul of who you are, there is no reason why others will not see your brilliance.
Pimples can be removed, hair can be changed, clothes can be bought. But you have to have the confidence to make that chance and tell yourself that you can reach your full potential. You wish to be that beautiful, confident and vibrant woman? So be it.
About the pimples, just as I suggested to another man yesterday, if there is a place called 'The Body Shop' where you live, I suggest purchasing some tea trea oil and tea tree exfoliant to help your skin. It is a natural solution to your problem. Start excercising if you feel you do not like your body and remember why you are doing it to give yourself motive. Look in the mirror and instead of looking for your flaws, discover your beauty because it is there.
I hope that helps.
