The resources that I found most empowering and insightful (to understand the cause of low self-esteem, and to know you are not alone) are Jean Kilbourne's Killing Us Softly videos. Many University libraries carry these DVDs, or you can view previews of them from her website. They are truly eye-opening as to the power of media on our body image.
Other great resources:
- This is my favorite book: Nathaniel Branden: Six Pillars of Self Esteem

- Teen Health: Self Esteem (might be a little young for you, but still good information regardless of age)
Please let me know if any of these are helpful!
