Summer Self-Esteem Challenge sponsored by Girls With Dreams

May 23, 2009

imgp4318Can we count you in for our Summer Self-Esteem Challenge sponsored by Girls With Dreams?

Are you tired of feeling pressured to have a perfect body?

Are you tired of comparing yourself and being compared to other girls?

What if girls could joing together and eliminate the pressure to be thin?

    We’re definitely tired of it!  The idea for this challenge came from a recent discussion Molly and Sarah were having at school about body image and American Idol’s “Bikini Girl”. Swimsuit season is here and it just another reminder of how difficult it is for girls to be happy in their own bodies.

    It’s hard to live up to the bodies on TV and in magazines, and it’s even harder to be around a group of girls who are comparing their own beauty to each other. The saddest part is that we are all guilty. Help us improve self-esteem in girls all over the world by joining our Summer Self-Esteem Challenge:

    1. The next time you’re in an outfit , swimsuits included, and you start mentally or verbally comparing yourself to your friends, STOP. Stop trying to figure out who has the best legs or flattest stomach and replace those comparisons with compliments.
    2. Every time you find yourself picking apart the way you look or feeling jealous of someone else, give yourself one compliment and at least two to your friends.
    3. When you wake up in the morning, don’t forget to start the day by looking in the mirror and complimenting yourself.
    4. Pick one way to eat healthier. You could eliminate soda, drink more water, or eat more fruits or veggies.
    5. Pick one form of exercise to do every day. Since it’s summer, this shouldn’t be too hard. You could swim, bike, walk, run, dance or rollerblade!
    6. Help us reach 100,000 girls by August 31, 2009. Please share this challenge with 3 friends so Girls With Dreams can all help improve every girl’s self-esteem.
