Dear Diane By Diane Van Arsdale

DEAR DIANE: With summer upon us, I have been dieting and exercising like crazy. Although I have been doing this, I still feel fat, and unattractive. I love to go to the beach with my friends, but looking the way I do, no one will even give me a second look. I bought a great new suit, but when I tried it on, I looked like a beached whale. I know there are other women out there who might feel the same way I do, I just wonder if you have any words of encouragement for us to get it in gear this year and actually go to the beach. I know there are all sorts of people of all different sizes, but I'm so embarrassed. Thanks. HEAVY DUTY DEAR HEAVY DUTY: I can understand your concern about your size and attractiveness, but always remember that beauty comes from within, not necessarily the outside. I agree we all would like to look as if we stepped out of a magazine,

but the fact is, that’s unrealistic. Some of us are heavy and can do nothing about it, as it may be a medical problem, or a genetic problem. Others must eat a balanced diet and exercise whenever possible. If you do that, and know you’re doing all you can for your personal appearance, then be satisfied with your appearance, and have confidence in yourself. If you project confidence and are proud of who you are, your beauty will always shine through. If a man can’t take the time or make the effort to meet you and spend time with you, without thinking of how great your body is, then you don’t need him looking at you in the first place. I say put your suit on, get your cooler filled and get going to the beach!
