Comparing.
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.

I usually think about that a lot walking across campus.
I go to a campus of 60,000+ students, so there is always something to look at haha.
Last year, I had those thoughts of ‘She is soo skinny and pretty.”
But this year (now that I am recovered) all I see are happy couples walking around and all I can think of is “I want one!!” haha
I think the secret to not think about comparing yourself is to not only do what you said, but also, think like a guy.
How many times do you see a guy comparing himself to other guys??
Ok, maybe when his crush is seeing some other guy it’s either a “What does he have that I don’t” or “I would treat her so much better than that”
So, guys usually have so much more confidence in themselves. They realize that everyone is different. Man am I generalizing here, but it’s true! For some odd reason, they can really understand they are God’s creation and that it doesn’t matter what they look like because it’s their heart, courage, soul, and strength that matters!
It’s insane.
So, maybe try that. ‘Think like a guy’
haha
I’m really glad you have that ’someone’ to keep you in line. That is probably the most important thing ever. My ’someone’ really helped me get through the shittiest part of life that I could imagine. Even though I took his help for granted at the time (I was a stubborn girl haha), I really appreciate it now.
