Stop Comparing Yourself To Others
We are all guilty of it, comparing ourselves to others. We do this for all sorts of things, such as is she smarter than me? Do they have nicer things than me? And most of all, Is she prettier/skinnier than me? Most women won’t admit it but the first thing they do when they meet a new female, is they check her out. It’s true, and you can’t say you don’t. You always compare your body to hers. Is she skinnier? Is she prettier? I think this why women have trouble getting along at first. They are too busy being competitive.
What I realized the other day is that how can you ever feel good about your body if you are constantly comparing it to others? You are always going to find that someone is prettier than you or skinnier than you, even if they aren’t. If you start putting yourself down, you are never going to measure up in your eyes. Every woman has a different body. In fact, you will never find two woman that have the exact same body. Some woman may carry more weight in their stomach while another one may carry it in her thighs. Or some woman may be too skinny. Every woman can find one thing on her body that she doesn’t like. It could be a facial feature or it could be a body part.
Instead of comparing yourself to others, what you should to do is compare yourself to yourself. How much healthier are you now than before? How much weight have you lost? How high is your self-esteem now? You might also find that you aren’t as closed off to other woman also and you may be able to make more girlfriends. When you are confident in yourself it will show and you have nothing to be jealous about, so others will want to be around you. So, stop comparing yourself to others and you can get more self-esteem along with a couple new friends!
