dear becky, beauty is within..... i hope you will feel better about
yourself. the word ugly should go with dead things..... not an alive young
woman. i know how it feels to feel this way.... always i was told negative
things and believed them.... i met a wonderful man 14 years ago, not
expecting to be interested in him.... he has faults too...... but he sees
inner beauty i can not see..... i find a smile brightens my face, so smile
at yourself, find humor in yourself, people look for others for humor and
encouragement, start with yourself...... this board holds alot of
encouragement from woman who have pcos, the archives are great, Bless
you.... :) connie j.
