Do you ever...

Feel like you tend to compare yourself to others (body wise) when you don't intend to? Like I'll admit, I do but I try not to but it can be a habit I try to break. I just feel like when friends I know (especially same sex) try to lose weight I don't know what it is, but it's like this competition for me to not let them become thinner than me. And I hate that habit I have because I want to break it but I don't know how. My boyfriend tells me no matter what he will love me whether I was underweight or overweight, doesn't matter and no woman compares to him. I love him and understand that. The thing is I had this habit since I was really young. I went to a school where the majority of girls primarily focused on achieving an impossibly skinny figure.

I don't know, I guess I'm posting this in hopes that people on here could possibly help me overcome this habit. Like I have been told I have a slim runner figure, and kind of curvy. My hips are just naturally always going to be an inch wider than my chest. I have small boobs, I embrace it. I'm 20 so I know I'm still around the "young age group".

I think by nature some people are more competitive, and so comparison is just a natural thing.

Be happy with who you are, and I'm guessing your boyfriend understands that you are YOU, and not someone else and is happy with that. Personally I think men are more attracted to women that can just be themselves, vs women who try hard to be what they are not.
