You can only come to that realization if you're having these conversations, and learning what normal is for other people.

You should never, ever, let anyone tell you you're not good enough. You have a choice whether to meet others expectations of you, or strive to meet your own.

Just focus on being the best possible version of yourself and quit worrying about your thighs, there's nothing wrong with them.

The biggest thing for women to keep in mind is you can't ever let someone define beauty for you. Look in the mirror and say that this is my definition of perfection.
