“The beginning for me was to look into the mirror and say (in Barbra Streisand’s accent): ‘Hellooo, gorgeous!’ I kept saying it until I didn’t burst into laughter every time I said it.” This may seem easy or trivial, but it’s not when you appear ugly and worthless to yourself. “I also worked very hard,” Judith told me, “to stop the negative thoughts (I called them the bad thoughts) by simply saying in my mind, STOP! and then I would say to myself, You are okay right now.”
