Hey guys, So… Heres my thought for the day-
Why do we compare ourselves to others?
I do it, My friends do it, Im sure you all do too.
But, anyways- I was at something last night. And there was someone there. & all I could think about was, “Oh my gosh, shes really skinny.” And after that thought my thoughts just got darker and darker.
& as much as I hated it. & knew I shouldnt be thinking like that & that it would trigger bad things, I just couldnt stop.
Luckily for me, I had some wonderful people get me through last nights hell. And that person made some very good points to me.
1.Who cares if shes skinny.
2.He would like her even if she wasnt.
3.Im more important than her, and I love you. So whats it matter.
And you know what, Those are soo true. If you have people in your life, that are wayyy more important than who your comparing yourself to, then why let it bother you? Why even contemplate the idea of comparison?
Anyways- Do any of you do that? What do you find that helps you block out those thoughts? And those of you that dont do it, whats your secret?
Wait wait wait, you know, after typing “whats your secret?” I just realized the answer to that. Being comfortable and happy with YOU! Haha, but thats just logically thinking. Maybe I can take some steps towards that today. & the rest of you can too. Whats it going to hurt?
Take care, stay strong, and keep fighting.
If not for yourself, for that “important person” you have in your life.
