Think about the messages you send to yourself
* Consider the effect you have on your own happiness and self-esteem when you put yourself down based on your looks or body
* Stop comparing yourself with others – nothing positive will come of it
* Focus on taking great care of yourself and focusing on what makes you feel beautiful
* Love your body – take a moment each day to remind yourself that you ARE beautiful
* If certain television shows, radio programs or magazines make you feel pressured to meet an unrealistic beauty ideal, stop watching or reading
Remember that you have an impact on the self-esteem of others
* Think about the impact you have on your friends and other women in your life when you make judgments or remarks about others’ appearance
* Know that your comments, behaviour or judgments – things you aren’t aware of even – leave a lasting impression on the young girls and adolescents in your life

I was happy to read their mission statement and am feeling very warmly towards them right now. If I didn't already use some Dove products, I would go out and buy some right now.
The Dove Self-Esteem Fund
The Dove Self-Esteem Fund is a national resource established as a link to Dove’s Campaign for Real Beauty, a program aimed at changing the current, narrow definition of beauty. We believe that to make a real difference, we must take action and contribute in ways that will help women and girls celebrate their individual beauty.
The goal of the Fund is two-fold:
1. Develop tools and resources to help Canadian women and girls build stronger self-esteem.
2. Support organizations in Canada that foster a broader definition of beauty and positive self-image among women or girls.

AND THEN
I forgot to mention that Dove has paired up with NEDIC A website that has been providing me with realistic information and comfort since 2001.
