I have seen this video a few times before, and it makes me tear up just about every time I watch it. It is heart wrenching to see just how stunned these women are when faced with their own critical self image next to the image that was described by an unbiased acquaintance. I suppose it makes me cry because it hits too close to my own issues regarding how I see myself. I have some facial scars from a car accident that I was involved in when I was 15, which have had an impact on my self-image.
