We've all been there. 

We know what we *have* to do.

Maybe we even *want* to do it.

I'm about to get real, folks.

I used to compare myself to others.

Like, a lot.

I looked at other fitness and yoga teachers online, and saw how fit they are, how they have better abs, a smaller butt, better hair, less acne, more money, yadda, yadda,...
