I wish I had told myself that the acne would go away and if you just have confidence in who you are as a person and friend others will see it reflected on the outside.

Midassa - I can obviously relate to the self-judgment and comparison. (I think I have a blog post coming up about that topic.) And I love 'Eleven'. Thanks for sharing that!

Sometimes I still feel like a 6th grader. I'm on my own road to fitness and it's not easy. When I saw a very fit woman running yesterday, I instantly became that young girl judging and hating herself for not looking like THAT girl.

It reminds me of 'Eleven' by Sandra Cisneros: What they don't understand about birthdays and what they never tell you, is that when you're eleven, you're also ten, and nine, and eight, and seven, and six, and five, and four, and three, and two, and one.
