How Do You See Yourself?

Have you seen this commercial?

I have recently seen it traveling around Facebook and then a fellow blogger sent me the link.  I know technically the video is made as an advertisement for a specific product, but there is a lot of truth to it.  I think it struck me particularly hard, because at seven and a half months pregnant sometimes it's hard to think you're anything but BIG and unattractive.  My husband and I just barely had a discussion about this.  He was telling me that I've been making far too many negative remarks about myself lately, because he thinks I'm still beautiful when I'm pregnant, and he doesn't like to hear me be so disparaging to myself.

I've always wondered why as women in particular we cut ourselves down (whether it be about our physical looks, intellect, talents or other capabilities).  We compare our weaknesses with others' strengths.  Sometimes it's necessary to just pause and realize that we are beautiful; we are valued; we are loved, and we are of great worth.
