I mainly see it through clients who aren&#8217;t happy with their figure, their weight, their bum, their thighs, this little bit just under my chin &#8212; well you get the idea.<\/p>\n<p>I also see it in Facebook comments and status updates about &#8220;I wish I was like you&#8230;&#8221;, &#8220;I wish I had legs like that&#8230;&#8221;, &#8220;I wish I was a size 8&#8221;. And then from people about their success, more snidey comments like &#8220;how&#8217;s he managed to do that, he&#8217;s not that good anyway&#8221; or &#8220;I would have done that differently&#8221; the quotes go on.<\/p>\n<p>You know what? Stop comparing and start being the very best version of you that you can be. For example I am NEVER going to be a size 8. I don&#8217;t have size 8 bones. At my absolute adult lightest I was 9 stone 7lb &#8212; I looked emaciated and my hip bones stuck out further than my belly. I was a size 10. An unhealthy, wastrel of a size 10.<\/p>\n<p>I am also never going to get into skinny jeans. My thighs are substantial and put me in size 14 trousers. So what? Who cares? It&#8217;s clothes.<\/p>\n<p>When it comes to achieving what you want to achieve. Be the best <strong>you<\/strong> can be. Don&#8217;t compare yourself to others, you don&#8217;t know their story or their journey. They&#8217;ll have demons they are dealing with too. If you don&#8217;t like something about yourself then change it. Take action and do it repeatedly until it becomes second nature, then you&#8217;ll be the best you can be. Yes that&#8217;s tough, but that&#8217;s why the successful people are successful because they keep on doing&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>So what are you going to do to be the best you? Consider this quote from Oscar Wilde &#8220;<em>be yourself &#8212; everyone else is taken&#8221;<\/em> &#8212; love that!<\/p>\n<p>Go. Be brilliant.
