Unique is the best shape

Sat, 01/21/2017 - 00:34 -- Kayosel

Excited for my new job.

I love my body. It's not perfect, but I'm not perfect.

They wanted skinny.

I tried by best. I gave them skinny.

But wait... She's skinnier. Am I still good enough?

Body goals: I want to look like her.

Finally! I've achieved the perfect body...

But wait... She's skinnier. I want- no, NEED that body.

Body goals: I need to look like her.

The scale tells me I'm in the best shape of my life, so why is my new perception of myself so distorted?

Who is all this really for?

I used to love my body.

I want to love my body.

Something needs to change...

WHY CAN'T I LOOK JUST LIKE HER?

Wait...

I'M. NOT. HER.

Fast forward— New goal: Stop comparing myself to everyone else. Strive to be a better me than I was yesterday.

Most importantly: Fall in love with my own uniqueness.
