believing you are ugly will ruin your life

[@alexandravalenty]

This set me free. You have no idea. THANK YOU CHLOE. You have an incredible mother. I’ve watched this several times.

[@shakira1702]

I love you and your mom. God bless you both! Thank you for the verses and the conversation. I've never heard anyone say to repent- so helpful. And yes to the 1993 gang!❤️

This helped me alot as my appearance is something I struggle with all my life. My looks and the way people treated me always made me feel like I have never been "enough" so I did try to change myself over and over to the point, I don't know who I am outside of trying to be what everyone else wants me to be. So I prayed and now at the ripe age of 27, I am finally working on liking and loving myself and that includes being in love with how I look. I remind myself by telling myself "I am wonderfully made by God".

I have no words. I’ve struggled with this the whole of 2024 and like your mom said, it IS a “wet blanket” that has been dragging me down, down, down to dark places. I’ve never struggled with self-image before. At all. I used to be the girl that didn’t care to brush my hair or appear put together. I thought I was above those things. But then I realized it was just a defense mechanism. Then, I went to college, got into social media, began comparing my life and looks to those of other girls, “prettier” girls. Like a switch, suddenly I cared TOO much about how I looked, how my body looked, etc. It was horrifying. I FELT myself spiral into self-hatred. Now I was scared I would be unloved because I was ugly. It’s a constant battle inside my head. Yes, I’ve sought God’s help in healing me. But every day, it feels as if though he’s silent, never giving me a rest from this torture. I’ve been crying constantly, wishing/praying for these feelings to go away. But every time I would pray, I’d feel better for a few hours, and then go back into that state of constant judgment of how ugly I was. I was losing hope. I didn’t know what I was doing wrong. Why can’t this just stop? I came across your video today and I feel renewed with hope. The part where your mom said to SCREAM out, rebuking and repenting for allowing myself to care about earthly beauty standards instead of God’s truth left my jaw open. I immediately went to my car so I could be alone and did it. I don’t know if it worked. I don’t know what’ll happen next. But I do know that what you said to do - to now ACTIVELY make the choice of turning away from this world’s ways of judging your looks - is what I want to do. I’m done caring about ugliness and pettiness according to society’s rules. I’m done looking at myself in the mirror and criticizing every feature. I want to focus on what’s important. I want to make God my priority. I want Him and I to be so close I’m able to listen to his voice. Maybe He’s just waiting for me. I don’t know. I don’t know but this video made me want to completely break away or cut off these carnal thoughts. Please pray for me. My name is Julieta and I just want peace 💗 Thank you 🙏🏻

Any update? I saw something online the other day, it was to do with overcoming lust but I thought a similar principle might apply. It was talking about how when we try to avoid thinking about something, our brain brings it back more often to sort of make sure we aren’t thinking about it, which is incredibly counterproductive. Instead, the video gave another option, to acknowledge the thought was there, and then to question why it existed before letting it go and move on.

[@avarinoonan1234]

Man this really speaks to me

[@jade_sh93]

Something that's helped me in combatting those lies is reminding myself daily when I look in the mirror that I am (a) made in God's image and (b)loved by God. Thank you so much for this!

[@MrsKhan-wm8cy]

This was convicting in the best way possible, thank you ❤

[@chloeannmack]

Mom with the hot takes

[@KateBomar]

Thank you so much for this. I honestly have been telling myself that I can't do certain ministry opportunities or talk to a man I'm interested in because I just feel too ugly. It has hit so hard this past week. I want to try my absolute best to believe this and give it all to Jesus... hahaha it's just so hard to truly do it. This episode is helping me take that first step. Thank you Chloe.

[@kaydeelewis9564]

Thank you so much for this video. This has been a very prevalent topic on my mind. I was reading a Christian book recently and the author said that if other people don't find you beautiful, it's more of a heart posture issue on their end because their definition of beauty is not in alignment with what God sees as beautiful within you (focusing less on the internal characteristics of Jesus in you that God calls beautiful, than the exterior things that we define as beautiful). Love having mama Mack on this vid too!!

[@chloeannmack]

Wow that is rich 🔥

Yesssssss!!

[@DHARK1873]

Ok only JUST clicked on vid, so I don’t have the full scope of what this will be yet… also never watched this channel before but I gotta tell you, as a PLAIN woman myself, it is hardly ever helpful to hear a PRETTY woman give advice on this subject. Even if the statements are true- just dying for the day that a plain woman, who actually understands that perspective, will make a video and truly SHOW us some PROOF of how an attitude shift actually assisted this issue.

[@DHARK1873]

A few mins in- it’s true we should never prioritize appearance… however, God WIRED men to desire physical beauty- so uh, it does matter a little bit.

[@DHARK1873]

Oh and you’re married - yeah, thanks for sharing but we need someone who really has suffered.

[@DHARK1873]

After finishing this one, started to watch the vid you referenced and you mentioned women preachers so, unbiblical info… why did I waste my time? I’m happy for you being blessed with beauty though- maybe you’ll be able to use this platform for good later on.

[@chloeannmack]

@@DHARK1873thanks for thinking I'm pretty 🩷 I don't think you are a plain woman. I think that's a lie from the enemy. How can God make someone plain?? You are created uniquely and you are beautiful! Also in the video I refrenced a womans conference I was preaching at but after years of study with the help of theologians like kraig keener I believe women can preach 🩷 I would encourage you to look him up. I defiantly wrestled over it but the Biblical evidence is astonishing

[@T-tt9cw]

HAHA I WISH I WAS

[@MS-1917]

To be honest. I would feel more inspired if it were 2 unmarried, average looking women delivering this message. Two fairly attractive blond women 2 generations who fall close to the standard of beauty ......ok. likely will not be rejected cat ladies. Sorry, not sorry for being honest. Other people probably feel the same but won't comment.

[@T-tt9cw]

@@MS-1917 just because someone is blonde doesn’t mean they fit the beauty standard what are you talking about? It doesn’t make her insecurity invalid? Can I ask, are you black American? I notice you guys tend to have an inferiority complex, and I’m African.

[@MS-1917]

​@@T-tt9cwI didn't generalize blonds or invalidate their feelings. Most women have body image concerns that are negative albeit on different levels. I said that blonds are closer on the mainstream beauty spectrum, which is true. I don't understand the angst in your reply. Perhaps you don't have much knowledge about attractiveness perception. I will use another example: weight/body size. If an obese person claimed the presenters weren't really as relatable bc of their thinness, would you say must obese people have an inferiority complex? That would invalidate their feelings. . It is in the research literature that men overall find thin women more attractive. I would understand if a larger size woman felt the presenters were not as relatable as if larger sized women who more likely have similar lived experiences. So in regards to skin tone, I do find that women who fall outside the mainstream beauty spectrum would be more relatable to me for similar reasons...more likely the same life experiences. I hope this helps. Have a good day.

[@T-tt9cw]

@@MS-1917 in no way wars I trying to offend you, so I apologise if my original message did so. I just don’t understand you putting “African features” in your comment as a way to express you do not fit into the “modern beauty standard”? A lot of women (and men) with the features you described as not being societally attractive lead amazing purposeful, god-filling lives. Also, the colour of your hai4 does not change the features of a persons face, despite blonde hair being viewed as beautiful, facial harmony is what is accepted by the “beauty world”. I feel like as a Christian having this ‘woe is me’ attitude is not helpful, it’s like saying God has made mistakes in creating diversity in humanity. Anyways, I wish you well and Godbless you, please remember that anyone God creates is valuable as he has created us in his image.

[@MS-1917]

​@@T-tt9cwI am just expressing what is true ...that differing skin tones and phenotypes and body sizes does impact our perception of self and others perceptions in general. many people are still working on accepting themselves and ignoring others perception. It is different for everyone (and some groups are perceived more negatively). The criticism is real like they mention in this video and unfortunately it does influence perceptions. Saying "woe is me attitude" or "inferiority complex" comes across as downplaying or gas lighting people's struggles (essentialy invalidating them). Most people know it is not how God wants us to think about ourselves.. But It is still a struggle bc we live in this world and everyone's journey is different . Thankfully Jesus understands our weaknesses (Hebrews) so we cling on to him as we WORK on our self perception. Although it may not be your intent, comments you mentioned dont help us in the good fight of faith. It actually makes some people afraid to seek support from others. Someone always downplays my feelings when i speak on this topic. Again everyone's lived experiences are different. The experience of people from other countries, will likely be different experiences. Even in the US certain parts of the country the focus on the mainstream standard is apparently very strong (eg California).We as Christians should speak encouragement to others who are struggling.

[@MS-1917]

​@@T-tt9cw comments like "woe is me attitude" and "inferiority complex" are not encouraging. Christians should encourage fellow Christians in their struggles. Thankfully Jesus understands our weaknesses (Hebrews)and gives us grace to overcome. It is not easy bc , like I mentioned, everyone's lived experiences are different.and some groups are perceived more negatively than others and knowing that does impact many women's self perception. In some states the influence of the mainstream beauty standard is very apparent (eg California) Even when Christians know this is not God's will for us it is still something some of us struggle to overcome. I am not shocked or offended by your comments. Someone always makes similar comments when I chime in on this topic. I am familiar with it by now but it is not encouraging. Just being honest . Take care
