It doesn’t take much, really, for something to make an impression on me.  Case in point: I was watching America’s Next Top Model last night, an early episode where they screen the semi-finalists.  Watching that I thought to myself, I want to be like Tyra!  She’s overcome a lot of issues to be completely body confident.  I sat there thinking that that’s why I’m losing this weight, so I can walk down the street feeling body confident, feeling like a 10!

Then, I watched Ugly Betty.  I love Ugly Betty by the way, love it!  In this episode, Betty ends up throwing a party just so her crush can play a gig.  He even dedicates a song to her, but then she walks in on him kissing Amanda.  As she sits outside crying, Daniel comes to speak to her and she cries saying that when her crush called her beautiful, she should have known he meant on the inside because she’s not on the outside.  And for some reason, that line just made me so sad because it strick a chord with a lot of my self-image issues.  It was a sad night.  I’m totally fine now, but I really need to work on my impressionability.

For the impact, I’m really sad for one of my good friends.  He’s just been dumped by his girlfriend who’s over in Camp America.  He was meant to be going too, but couldn’t front the money for it.  His last girlfriend broke up with him when she went to Camp America and we spoke before his new gf went and he told me he was terrified the same thing was happening.  I reassured him and tried to make him feel better, and now it’s happened again.  I feel really bad for him, I know how much he’s hurting and I just want to help him feel better.
