Finally, a book for me!!!!! Let me tell you guys that this book really got me thinking about my life and how I want to live it to the fullest. I mean I've loved Janet Jackson for quite some time now, but now I have so much more respect for her. I was completely surprised by her honesty in this book. You usually see her in interviews and she doesn't like to talk much about her personal struggles, but I'm glad that she opened up and shared her life with people who could really use the guidance. I can relate to her struggles with weight completely. For one, I HATEEEEEEE working out!!! Also, being teased at an early age can really affect people who are incredibly sensitive as I am. Internalizing your feelings and holding it in for years is no bueno. Janet's constant struggle to learn to love herself is something I know all too well. Some days are better than others, but I can handle it. Another thing I learned from this book is too not torture myself anymore. The past week or so, I've been really beating myself up about my appearance and my eating habits. My "plan" was to just to eat a three small meals a day and just water and nothing else, and just push myself in my workouts. I've been in that habit before, but I realize that its crazy to set such unrealistic goals. I might not ever be as small as my friends are or have the six-pack and big muscles. Everyone's different and should love themselves for who they are. The true you. I'm now determined to better my life. I wanna be a better student, a better fitness guru, a better friend, a better son, a better Vaughn. Thanks Janet <3.
*p.s. can't wait to see your show in march!!!*
