Heard this once and just needed a reminder...
Think of this way:
From this point, people will know you as this person. Not the fat person, not the insecure person. The person you are today. Anyone your meet from here on knows this you. Crazy, right?
I wanted to go to a Zumba class my friend was teaching but an old friend was also going to attend. I really had no desire to see this person. Then I thought about it and they have never seen me this skinny. They have only known the Tiffany who was as much as 65 and as little as 30 pounds heavier. (weight loss/weight gain cycle). So, then, I was like who cares. I got this. I do well at Zumba :)
One other thing I keep telling myself: when you are crazy stressed and look around and it seems like everyone else has it all together, you are judging yourself based on what you know is "behind the scenes" and you are only seeing what they present to you. Don't judge them against your own insecurities. You will never win.

So perfect! How did you know i needed to be reminded of all this today! :)
It is so true. i hear couples fight all the time or people acting jealous of what other people have or what they do/act but we have no idea the details of their life, we only see the shell.
I try to tell myself... 'keep doing you and dont worry about anything else'

When I was in Overeaters Anonymous, they had a saying, "Don't compare your inside to someone else's outside." Same thing you're saying - we have no idea what other people are going thru, everyone presents this image to the world. What a revelation that was!
