writes: I have massive body image issues. I'm 23 so I think I shouldn't have these childs issues anymore... I just have a plain face and plain body... nothing stands out as beautiful. I'm around 5'7", 140 lbs approximately... so not fat, but also not that thin... I guess I can stand to lose some 10 lbs... anyway, I have small breasts, massive butt and thighs... and some cellulite on them... the only good thing is my waist is small so I guess I'm pear shaped... My boyfriend loves me, I know that, but sometimes I let insecurities get the best of me... for example he has a huge crush on Marion Cotillard... and I can't blame him, she's breathtaking! But then I wish I was as beautiful as she is... so that he could have that instead of a so-so girlfriend who can easily get lost in a crowd. we've watched some movies in which she appears naked and I swear I felt so ugly by comparison... I know my boyfriend probably doesn't feel that way but... I don't know I just felt bad, I guess some ladies might relate to such emotions.How do I get over this? I know it's so silly and sometimes I feel so bad 'cause I've been blessed with brains, a good family and a healthy body... yet sometimes there is such an emphasis in looks that I feel inferior simply because I'm not as beautiful as other women (and often not even famous women, but women at work or in social situations)... and I don't like feeling sad over something I can't change... I want to get past this, any help appreciated.

 Believe me every single woman out there has some problem when it comes to there body. I know you probably feel that you are plain and nothing special, but I bet your boyfriend feels different when he looks at you. I think every female will understand where you are coming from. You say there are loads of girls who you look at and think they are more attractive than you are, but I bet there are others you look at and you know you are better looking than them. At the end of the day you are who you are, and you could be a lot worse. There is huge pressure on woman in society these days because of media and all the size zero women or all the girls that have plastic surgery.
But believe me all girls have body issues its normal. Just try and concentrate on the parts that you like and be thankful that you are not morbidly obese. Your boyfriend wouldn't be with you if he did not want to be so take it as a compliment.
