No you can't, but you don't need travel back in time or change your DNA to become attractive. What you need to do is change how you think about you!

I know you can do that - because I have done it too.

I used to think I was quite the ugly duckling and my classmates were only too keen to remind me at least twice a day. It got to a point where I could hardly look in the mirror long enough the shave myself in the morning.

Then one day I wrote a song about being proud of who you are. And I started thinking: how can I sing this, if I am not proud to be me? So I did the unthinkable: I started telling myself that I wasn't ugly, but rather good looking and I did my very best to smile at myself in the mirror...

I needed five years to change from telling myself I was beautiful every day to knowing it in my heart, but other people's opinion about that started to change for the better within the year.

Real beauty comes not from the surface but from deep within you - it is the glow of your heart shining out.
