Self-esteem 101: focusing on what's right with you, not what's wrong, and being grateful.

In this video I discuss how I have managed to have really good self-esteem throughout my life, despite being what society might deem as 'fat, ugly and hairy'.  HA!  I focus on what's right with me, not what's wrong with me, and every day I do 'gratitude journalling' -- that is to say, writing down five things every day for which I am grateful.  After awhile, it really does change your thinking.  

I talk about dieting, fat phobia/fat acceptance, and fighting gender norms.
