Book Review: Does This Insecurity Make Me Look Fat? By Michelle Wlison

  

I love the title of this book and hey, have you all  checked your self-talk lately? You know that almost constant internal dialogue we each have every day?So much of what happens to us and within us is reflected in that ongoing conversation. This book zoomed in for a close-up on how much our inner perspective affects who we are. Well-written with humor, insight, personal anecdotes, scriptures and wisdom from LDS church leaders, Michelle enlightens learning to see and choosing to be more confident and whole as we remember to view ourselves from God’s perspective-an eternal one!

--Definitely a "pick-me-up" read!

From the back cover:

Does this insecurity make me look fat?

…OR does this confidence make me look magnificent?

*Why do clothing stores hang fun-house mirrors in their dressing rooms?

*The laundry room doesn’t cry when it’s not folded so why should I?

* Can I be confident even if an elevator calls me fat?

Michelle Wilson’s humorous yet poignant insights help women examine the limitations we place on ourselves out of insecurity and self-doubt. We have faith in God, but do we know that He has faith in us?

When we see ourselves from God's eternal perspective, we can feel confident and whole--even in our imperfection. Just think what we might accomplish if we truly believe that we are more important than we know, stronger than we realize, and extraordinary in every way.
