Hello I am new here .... I'm really happy to be able to talk with other people in the same situation as mine. First thing I want to say is STOP COMPARING YOURSELF TO OTHERS. Just find what you like the most about yourself and try to make it better I'm other words be a better you not a better copy of someone else.

Hi and welcome Sheryl :)

If you mean don't compare yourself infavourably with others eg I'm too fat, too ugly, too short etc, I agree. However, I'm a great believer in recognising people's attributes and working hard to emulate them. It gives us goals and an appreciation for others.

This doesn't include plastic surgery, or other drastic measures to get the same nose, boobs, hair etc, but watching people that work hard to better themselves, eg, have positive attitudes, are kind and caring, accept responsibility for their actions etc

I hope I haven't waffled on too much and that this makes at least a little sense :)

Enjoy this forum and good luck on your journey :)

Hello there. I get your point and I agree with it. I do get my motivation from others sometimes I mean for people who really worked hard and instead of saying "I wish I could ..." I'd rather say "I can do it too"

Thank u for your support.😚
