We all have our hang-ups but what’s amazing is that, probably, 89.99% of them are all in our head. And if you’re anything like us, most of the time we can recall WHEN that self-doubt started to creep up in our lives (teenage years, anyone?).

Meet Lydia Donaldson from California, Shapermint customer and one of the smartest, confident and gorgeous women we’ve ever met. She can tell EXACTLY when she started thinking she was fat.

Yes, that’s her in the thumbnail. Yes, she’s always been basically the same size. And yes, she was STILL called fat during her teenage years. Check out her story -and how she deals with her self-doubts and hang-ups today- in the video below.

All it takes is ONE kid for us to wind up struggling with self-image issues the rest of our lives. Don’t let how other people see you define who you are — after all, all it takes is ONE person to treat us well be kind to us to undo the harm. Ourselves!

Thank for sharing, Lydia! We ❤️you!
