I think the first step is to be confident in yourself and know your body.
Sometimes we get frustrated because we want to look like certain models/athletes
but we all have a different body and what matters is to feel good with what we have.
In my case, if I'm not happy, I ask myself, what should I do or what should/would like to change?
And then I start focusing on that.
I remember when everybody was laughing at me when I first say I was going to lose weight.
I was 16 years old I was weighing 250lb, I was sad because I could hear all the shady comments people were saying behind my back. I wanted to be a part of the popular group and being called beautiful and making all those guys crazy about me.
My grandmother believed in me and wanted me to change my habits for the sake of my health so she bought me a 3 months subscription to the gym. I will forever remember this because It was the first time that someone actually believed that I could do such a thing. I wasn’t always fat but for some reason, I wasn’t able to lose all that weight.
I can’t believe that a few years ago I was body shame because I was overweight and now I am a young Montreal model and that a lot of people are showing me love, support and they actually want to work with me.
But it’s only the beginning of my dream though. I know that I have a lot of work to do to be on top of the game and it won’t be easy.
You cannot please the world you never will have everyone on your side, but look in the mirror if you love yourself others will love you too.
The ones that have something negative to say shouldn't be in your life anyways.
Friends, boyfriend/girlfriend, and family should talk you up if they don't, don't be scared to drop them.
I feel like we all have insecurities, but if you could find something that you love about yourself those insecurities just goes away.
