More Beautiful You

Last night at my Weight Watchers meeting we kicked off the Lose for Good campaign. During the meeting we were challenged to think about why we began weight watchers and how we feel we have changed since we started this journey. Many women, including myself, said that one major thing that has changed has been our self esteem.

Before my weight loss, I put myself down so much that I did not feel that I was worthy to be certain people's friends. I know it's sounds like junior high, but that's how I thought! I have come so far from that kind of thinking. It's not all better all the time, but I can see the change in my thinking.

In case you are someone who felt or feels just like I did, I wanted to share these lyrics with you. Everytime I hear this song I am reminded of what God thinks about me. I hope that you enjoy this song as much as I do.

"There Could Never Be a More Beautiful You" By, Jonny Diaz
Little girl fourteen flipping through a magazine
Says she wants to look that way
But her hair isn’t straight her body isn’t fake
And she’s always felt overweight

Well little girl fourteen I wish that you could see
That beauty is within your heart
And you were made with such care your skin your body and your hair
Are perfect just the way they are

There could never be a more beautiful you
Defy the lies disguises and hoops they make you jump through
You were made to fill a purpose that only you could do
So there could never be a more beautiful you

Little girl twenty-one the things that you’ve already done
Anything to get ahead
And you say you’ve got a man but he’s got another plan
Only wants what you will do instead

Well little girl twenty-one you never thought that this would come
You starve yourself to play the part
But I can promise you there’s a man whose love is true
And he’ll treat you like the jewel you are

There could never be a more beautiful you
Defy the lies disguises and hoops they make you jump through
You were made to fill a purpose that only you could do
So there could never be a more beautiful you

So turn around you’re not too far
To back away be who you are
To change your path go another way
It’s not too late you can be saved
If you feel depressed with past regrets
The shameful nights hope to forget
Can disappear they can all be washed away
By the one who’s strong can right your wrongs
Can rid your fears dry all your tears
And change the way you look at this big world
He will take your dark distorted view
And with His light He will show you truth
And again you’ll see through the eyes of a little girl

There could never be a more beautiful you
Defy the lies disguises and hoops they make you jump through
You were made to fill a purpose that only you could do
So there could never be a more beautiful you
There could never be, a more beautiful you.
