Love Yourself

"Don't compare your body to others. Instead, work to be your personal best".

I know I've talked about this many times on this blog. But believe you me, I know there are people that constantly need to be reminded to love themselves, myself included. We all wanna be loved and accepted by others in this world. Anyone that says otherwise is a damn liar. If it weren't true, people wouldn't spend millions of dollars each year altering their appearances and trying to lose weight. What makes matters worst is constantly feeling the fat one in your group of friends. Even though my friends don't view me in that way, I still feel this from time to time. It's like"why can't I look this way"? "Why do I have all this extra meat on me"? I can't really blame anyone but myself for my old habits. I work as hard as I can to lose weight and remain healthy, but those feelings of inadequacy and doubt still creep up from time to time. When I go to the gym, I occasionally feel like I'm embarassing being around all these big, jacked-up dudes. I'm slowly getting to accepting my body. I'm not meant to be skinny, it's not gonna happen. However, I am gonna work as hard as I can to be the best Vaughn that I can be. Honestly, that's all I can do. So to all of those who are feeling the same way I've felt for some time, it gets better. Loving yourself for the person you are is not bad at all, and if you feel that its necessary for you to change how you look, then do it healthily. Just be the best you that you can be.
