Plus-size? More like my size

Plus-size? More Like My Size by Ashley Graham was about reclaiming your body as your own. While watching this, I started thinking about my eating habits. Watching this video, I thought that maybe I am allowed to eat chips, and all kinds of snacks and eat enough to feel full. But at the same time, I eat a whole family size bag of chips for a meal. I eat 10 chocolate chip cookies in a day. I eat I eat and I eat. But I eat all the wrong foods. Because it makes me feel better. It comforts me. But this video was not about caving in to those vices. It was about addressing why you are eating those sugar sweets, and loving yourself for who you are, regardless of appearance.

How to Stop Screwing Yourself Over

How to Stop Screwing Yourself Over by Mel Robbins talked about how to get what you want. She said that we are all being brought to ruin by the phrase "fine." By telling yourself that you are fine, or that the situation is fine, allows you to drive on autopilot. It allows you to continue living a certain way, because you are "fine." She said that in order to get what we really want, we must move when that impulse hits. Because that impulse disappears after five seconds. She encouraged the audience to wake up 30 minutes before we normally do. To change things up, and live our best lives.

The Power of Vulnerability

The Power of Vulnerability by Brene Brown recapped that in order to be truly happy, you must first be willing to be vulnerable. The quote that stuck with me the most was that being vulnerable meant saying "I love you" first, even though that feeling may not be reciprocated. In order to be happy, you must face the uncertainty. You must embrace it.
