It is a tough nut to crack. Sorry to derail the original thread.
To para phrase Mike Dooley (http://www.tut.com/index/infinitepossibilitiesproject). If you say to your self every day "I'm ugly and this NBE is not working and etc" you will begin to believe your self and you will fall into a pit. However if you take the opposite approach and say " Today is great, My boobs look a bit larger today, Thanks for all the great mysteries that make me who I am, etc" . Then the brain begins to believe your new statements and soon Happy is the new you.
I'm not Happme for nothing you know!

Bobbi, your outlook is inspiring. If you want, you can add to your great day: Inspiring Allie to look at herself and believe she has made progress, even if it isn't immediately obvious. Maybe I should start talking to my body the way I talk to my seedlings in the garden
Anyway Bobbi your one little comment has brightened my day and made my outlook a little brighter. So thanks.
