WA, please know this is coming from someone who loves and respects you very much. Your avatar is just not right for you.
If anything, I see you as this right now...

If only she had blonde hair. : )
Even that pic makes me sad, but I believe it is more accurate. It's been bothering me since I first saw it today. Because I know how you FEEL and why you chose it.
We are our biggest critics. We tend to see the negative about ourselves while others see the beautiful light in us. YOU are TOO beautiful for that avatar. Believe me, I know how it feels to be down. Down on myself, down on outside variables, etc.
I know you are sad by seeing that avatar and it breaks my heart. : (
I love you and you CAN and WILL do this! No giving up. Promise?
You are one of the selective few who have gone out of their way to make (or try to make) me feel better when I am down. I am hoping you will see this post as me doing the same for you.
YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL!!!
And anything that you are unhappy with, you are STRONG enough and INTELLIGENT enough to fix. It takes time. Results cannot be seen overnight. Do not let that discourage you. Be happy with your will to continuously try to work at your goal.
You're such an amazing woman/person. I'm cheering you on!
^^^^Let that motivate you....NOT discourage you!
