Just because you don't like it doesn't mean it isn't currently rocking someone else's world.

There will always be people who can do it better than you, but that's a good thing! Start to see competition as inspiration — without envy.

The self doubt can be a fantastic opportunity to self-reflect and see where you can grow and be stronger.

Stand up for what you believe in even if it causes waves.

I'd take pasta over skinny any day. More importantly, I'd take health over looks.

So acknowledge here to yourself, ‘I am unique, and while there may be someone who is better than me at this or that, it doesn’t matter because they’re not me. So no matter what, they’ll never do it like me because that’s impossible.’ So embrace the quirks, embrace your individuality, embrace where you are in life. No one else is like you, and that is special, and that is unique.

I encourage myself - and everyone - to focus on how you feel and take care of yourself as opposed to your waistline.
