It's easier to love yourself than to become an entirely different person.

With that said, loving yourself doesn't come easy, not in the least. I'm not going to sugar coat it. It's tough as hell to love yourself. Mostly because you're fighting yourself the whole damn way.

My advice. Get out of your own way and stop fighting it. How? Seek therapy, read a self help book, or maybe go take an exercise class. I find that Yoga is a great way to soothe the savage beast within.
