Self love is VASTLY underrated. Ever since I could form real sentences, I had it ingrained in my mind that it was more important to build someone else's confidence up before my own. It became second nature to make my friends feel better about their bodies by pointing out what was wrong with mine.
"You have GREAT legs, what are you talking about?! I'm the one with cellulite!" (I love my thick thighs, by the way).
But doesn't this sound oh so familiar? You might not even realize you're tearing your own self esteem down until you look in the mirror and all you can do is criticize yourself.
What we need to do is re-teach ourselves to love every inch of our bodies — all of our stretch marks, our uneven bits, those bones that kind of stick out on our hips — because guess what? Everyone looks different no matter what the fashion magazines say.
And want to hear another secret? NEWS FLASH: The models on the covers of those fashion magazines don't even look like that.
