omg serious you have basically said everything that i needed to hear i just stubbled upon this video and then here it is what i needed to hear i realize that not being confidant in my self is what is holding me back and what is probably affecting my current relationship thank you so much for these encouraging words
i can only wish that one day i can have someone as amazing as your partner and be as amazing as you. i am not near that point but i really hope that one day i can be. i have watched this video a few times.. i see it like a pep talk when i am feeling like shit.
oh i know how all this feels. its like being punched in the face.
my guyfreinds all told me that guys like soft tummys better then flat ones and now that i think about it it makes sense. its so nice to here that from guys, so i feel better about myself! :)
I am fairly new to youtube and a new subcriber to Project Life Size. and I was up stumbling across videos suggested to me after totally having a cryfest about all the terrible things going on in Haiti. And then I came across this video and it was so nice to hear words I needed to hear. Made me laugh and smile.
thank you so much for that!
I really love this whole Lifesizeproject business!
This is such an amazing, genuine video- you're an amazing person. Thank you for being here, for being you, for being confident, and secure. THANK YOU!
This is such an awesome video!!!!!!!! You really are beautiful and your honesty only makes it shine out even more! I absolutely love this!!!!!!!!! Every girl everywhere should watch this!!!!!!!!!! Thank you so much!
Wow... I so relate. Back when I was in a relationship, I had the same issue in the bedroom. A lack of confidence in my own body appeal was a big turn off for my Gaerith. If I trusted him enough, trusted in what we had enough, and really viewed myself as beautiful, even naked, then maybe things would have been a lot different. Your man loves you. Let him! He loves YOU, not some chick in a magazine or on the TV. YOU! Let him love you and be proud that of that love.
I had many times when I was at school, when I liked someone and they didn't go with it as I wasn't self confident and didn't feel worthwhile or sexy. Since I changed in body and mind I had the same guys getting back in touch and trying to date me., A lot of them were cruel to me, so I wouldn't have been able to get past it if I dated them.
You know what...this is very informative. Thanks so much for sharing that. We need to really see ourselves as beautiful, otherwise why would anyone else see us that way, or like us if we dont like ourselves. You are amazing!
About guys being attracted to big women; Guys who like big women don't "choose" to be that way. It's a lot like being gay---- you often wish it wasn't that way, and eventually you accept it and have fun with it or you suffer. I tried to like thin women. Mostly they still look like boys with nice hair.
^.^ thank you shan!! im in junior high and im the "different" one u can call it. im too short and im not good at any type of sport. i all ways try and tll myself im beautiful but i never really believe it. But it makes me sad wen i see my friends who are so beautiful say they are ugly. Your videos help me through times when i feel like a donkeys butt like now im breaking out so bad thank you for the video!
I love you, and what you have to say, tremendously. On those "dark, cloudy days" I force myself to watch your videos and instantly i'm once again clear minded.
Thank you so much for sharing that, I was brought up by a single Mother who blamed me for ruining her life and always told me I was fat and ugly, I have a wonderful hubby (who I think is deranged lol) who adores me and even now with my illness and living in pj's still say phwoar at me, I so wish I could see what he sees and love myself but hink I spent too long being broken to ever fix things. :0)
i just want to say that i really appreciated what u had to say and what everyone on project lifesize said this week because as 16 year old plus size girl who has never been on a date, what u guys have been saying has really made me feel better
i think your beautiful lol and i'm very happy that you and you boyo john are happy together. and everyone once they are sexually active have at least one embarassing incident. lol also i think there are more factors in getting a guy besides your confidence. but that is a major one. love ya! you are plain awesome! lol
WHAT is black Friday? Americans have been talking about it all day, and I have NO idea what it is...
This vid reminds me of a crush I had on John Gibson...He would just come over and wink at me if he wanted to dance...OMG my face was always scarlet during the whole ordeal...
I saw him later and he asked me to leave everything and he would leave his wife and we'd be happily ever after...
What a great story. I have never had a relationship, and I think a lot of it is because I don't think I deserve one. It's hard to let go of all my self-esteem issues.
i can't say how really fantastic the videos have been this week. some very candid, very real stories that i think all of us can relate to. thanks for sharing with us! *hugs*
Holy cow, can we talk about how much I adore you? The fact that we're on the same wavelength about the finding yourself beautiful is just the tip of the iceberg. Thank you for talking about what no one will. Sister friend, you're aces.
My girlfriend always complained about having sex with the lights on...so one day i confronted her and said "honey if its because youre self conscious about your body its really something we can work on"
But as it turns out, it was because when it was dark she could pretend she was having sex with someone else.
Aww..I totally loved every word you said..u made me cry..i've totally had and still have those thoughts that you have..and i never thought anyone else has felt that way..
This is such a grand truth. Allowing yourself to be happy and allowing yourself to be in a fantastic relationship... Gah it's so hard! For everybody.... sigh.
lol yay for junior high romances! hehe I had one a those too! He lived down the street from me. I think that its all in how you view yourself...if you can't see yourself in a positive light...how are others supposed to see you that way? You gotta love yourself first! YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL SHAN!
Wonderful video! Thank you for sharing that with us.
As a guy, I don't have any problem seeing you as beautiful, just from your video. You have a great smile, lovely eyes, and a wonderful playful nature. John is a lucky man.
Confidence is one of the biggest turn-on's for men...it doesn't matter what you look like. Most men do not obsess & knit-pick about our bodies the way us women do to each other and ourselves.
LOL @ the 69 story....I've been there gf! It's tough, but you are SO right...you need to find yourself beautiful, its what is most important in life.
Shan, I just watched this for the first time. :0/
I can relate to all of this on SO MANY levels, all of them in fact, especially the sex stuff. Thank you SO MUCH for posting. *hugs*

Attention all bigger girls!!!
I just wanted to add something.
I am biggish myself - US size 14 or so, and I also happen to be gay. My 2 cents:
FYI Larger women are absolutely beautiful!
AND Bellies are NOT ugly, they are a lovely, soft ,*unique* part of you and..... HEAVEN to snuggle up with.
Write it down, make a bumper sticker, tattoo that fact somewhere important.
The mainstream may have forgotten this, but that's THEIR PROBLEM NOT YOURS!!! xox

( O_o) They do say confidence. But there are too many factors and you never know what the other would like and is thinking I guess.
Some really aren't superficial and on looks or whatever standard media tries to push.
Hmmm, yeah yourself first o__o..
I got trust issues amongst things.
27 and never been in a relationship =D
There are many embarassing moments in life and there are many sexual positions.
Also belly and things, everyone got something not too proud of. But more look at the whole
