I love to listen to music and there is this song I’ve always identified with whether I’ve been fat or thin. It is called Beautiful by the band Joydrop. It is about 6 years old or so, but for me it’s a timeless song. Do you have any songs you identify with? Feel free to click on the link above to listen to it. Here are the lyrics:

IF I WAS BEAUTIFUL LIKE YOU
OH THE THINGS I WOULD DO
THOSE NOT SO BLESSED WOULD BE CRYING OUT MURDER
AND I’D JUST LAUGH AND GET AWAY WITH IT TOO
LIKE YOU DO

IF I WAS BEAUTIFUL LIKE YOU
I WOULD NEVER BE AT FAULT
I’D WALK IN THE RAIN BETWEEN RAIN THE DROPS
BRINGING TRAFFIC TO A HALT

BUT THAT WOULD NEVER BE
THAT WOULD NEVER NEVER BE
‘CAUSE I’M NOT BEAUTIFUL LIKE YOU
IM BEAUTIFUL LIKE ME
BEAUTIFUL LIKE ME

IF I WAS BEAUTIFUL LIKE YOU
I’D BE QUICK TO ASSUME
THEY’D DO ANYTHING TO PLEASE ME WHY NOT
I SEE THEIR REACTION WHEN YOU WALK INTO THE ROOM

BUT THAT WOULD NEVER BE
THAT WOULD NEVER NEVER BE
‘CAUSE I’M NOT BEAUTIFUL LIKE YOU
IM BEAUTIFUL LIKE ME
BEAUTIFUL LIKE ME
BEAUTIFUL LIKE ME
LIKE ME
LIKE ME

IF I WAS BEAUTIFUL LIKE YOU I’D HAVE SO MANY FRIENDS
ALL FIGHTING FOR MY TIME TO BE NEXT IN LINE
SO IF I HURT ONE I WOULDN’T HAVE TO MAKE AMENDS

BUT THAT WOULD NEVER BE
THAT WOULD NEVER NEVER BE
‘CAUSE I’M NOT BEAUTIFUL LIKE YOU
IM NOT BEAUTIFUL LIKE YOU
IM NOT BEAUTIFUL LIKE YOU
IM BEAUTIFUL LIKE ME
BEAUTIFUL LIKE ME
IM BEAUTIFUL LIKE ME
IM BEAUTIFUL LIKE ME
