    Day nine: Making people smile makes me happy because it means I've made a difference and helped at least one person to turn their frown upside down :D

    I'm skipping day's ten and eleven.

    Day twelve - I'm not sure, lots.. I'd maybe stop myself getting so angry over stupid things because it's not worth it at all.

    Day thirteen - hate my smile, feel like I look even fatter when I smile so I could live without it.

    It's a tricky one - I'd argue that anyone, regardless of size, looks 100% better when they smile. Often our eyes glint and our personality shines. I know sometimes when I look at smiling photos I feel like I look a bit like a goon, but I know that a photo only captures a tiny moment and probably isn't representative. Do you feel you sometimes fixate on photos or a mirror reflection?

    One thing I've noticed is that smiling is infectious and if you walk down the street smiling then others will often smile back - that's really powerful as a personality trait :)

    In addition, I bet you have a beautiful smile, butterfly.

    When answering the question, do you like the way you are? It can be really easy to focus straight on the physical and perhaps the things we perceive as being faults. How you are is more than your perceived faults though - it's the whole you - the features that make you unique, the parts of you that mean you're a functioning, capable, caring human being. It is a challenge, but if you feel you could revisit this question and challenge your own perception a little bit, that would be really cool :)

    Hey SaraBob,

    As Helen said, it's really tough sometimes to answer these questions without thinking of the negative thoughts you may have.

    I thought it would be nice to remind you about some of the other things you've said about yourself at other points in the thread that are really positive and lovely...

    "Day three: In trustworthy? Don't know xD "
    "Day six: hmm I don't know.... That I always put others first?, "
    "Day seven: When with my family "
    "Day eight: Hmm.... When someone I liked said I had really nice eyes :) "

    I know it can be a bit embarrassing to say nice things about yourself but it can be a really good quality as well. :)

    30 day self esteem challange? :D

    Day twelve: I'd change the way that I over think every little thing
    Day thirteen: depends what kind of smile it is, if it's smiling like an idiot because of reasons I'm normally too happy to care about it. Other than that though I Personally hate it and think it's horrid, I'd love to have a nicer smile

    I do like my eyes so when I smile (and if the smile is genuine) I do love the way you kind of smile with your eyes too. I hate the rest of my face though so when I smile and the cheeks puff out it's like URGH. It just makes me feel like there's too much fat on my face. And when I smile with teeth. Urgh. No.

    I do obsess a little bit with photo's and mirror reflection. If someone wants to take a picture of me I make sure I have more eye make-up on and I make them take tons of pictured until there's one that I'm okay with. My sister usually gets fed up with that part.

    Day fourteen - I'm mixed on this one. People say laughter is the best medicine and I really agree with that. I love my laugh just because it's mine personally, nobody at all has exactly the same laugh and it's a way to recognise people as it's a huge part of them.

    But then when I laugh I sometimes realise I'm covering my mouth with my hand, and also if something is really funny I sometimes do a sort of 'guinea pig squeak' as my best friend would call it, and obviously I could do without the embarrassing squeaking hah.

    Day 12: I would be less shy. Although I don't seem it through boards and chat, I'm incredibly shy in person
    Day 13: I hate it at the minute as I have braces but hopefully it will be nicer once they are taken off
