I Got A Big Ego, Such A Huge Ego...... and I Can Back It UP!!!

So um yeah, ever since I got on board with the Slim & Sexy Campaign, I guess u could kinda sorta say that I joined the conceited side of laugh. I mean just because I like to take pictures of myself and look into mirrors constantly do I HAVE to be considered conceited and self-absorbed? Ok yeah pretty much, I like myself and have no problem showing it. Not to get all dramatic, but in high school, I was very shy and self-esteem was nonexistant. Didn't think too highly of myself. All the jokes and comments about the way I looked, I really took it to heart. I'm a sensitive guy, there's no denying that fact so I let all the little things play with my head. So once I started to lose weight and see the physical changes, I gradually began comfortable in my own skin. Somewhere along the way I lost the humbleness of my fluffy days and this new guy came into the picture.  Taking new pictures of myself everyday to make sure people knew how good I looked, always looking into mirrors to make sure everything was looking good. I became obsessed with my appearance and it began to annoy some of my friends. Looking back at the way I behaved last year, I don't know how all my friends put up with me. Whenever someone said I looked good, I'd reply with "Yeah I know". WHAT A JACKASS MOVE. My friend Eben would regularly call me Mr. Conceited. But I'm glad I got those reality checks every once in a while, especially from my mom. She told me that what I've accomplished was definately something to be confident about but I didn't have to say how good I looked every moment of the day. Rather I just needed to act like I got some damn sense and humility. Losing weight and looking good is a great thing but you don't need to flaunt it and act like your hot shit when you're not really all that. Just carrying yourself  with confidence and humility and the swagger will come naturally, no need to force it. I still have my moments where I say "damn I look good" but moreso I just roll with the flow and let the humility do the talking for me. The ego will always be there, but no need to have to back it up.
