It is incredibly easy to compare yourself to others, everyone does it. In the digital world we live in today, everyone sees pictures of everyone and how their life looks on their social platform. We find ourselves comparing our lives and what we look like to what we see other people doing. Which at times can be motivational but more often just leaves us pondering what we could be if we looked a certain way.

For myself, as a young woman, my weight fluctuates all the time. Every girl has gained weight after high school because our bodies are changing from a girl to a woman, that's just the way it is. But as soon as the pants sizes get bigger and the shorts start to not fit you think your world is ending. It can be detrimental for a woman to gain weight because of the standards our bodies are held to.

We are always seeing these models on Instagram that are promoting bikinis and swimwear and it seems impossible to be able to get yourself down to their size. Or when you think an outfit being promoted is cute, and they only have sizes one to five. Which is awesome for girls that are naturally skinny, but for women with curves it is just simply unrealistic to attempt to fit into a size that small.

The absolute worst are pant sizes...every lady knows it is true. Think about it girls, we all have that one pair of pants we wear when we feel our skinniest. The amount of pant sizes I have in my closet is ridiculous because it ranges from eight to twelve. For most clothing brands or almost every clothing brand, the sizes fit differently. I can be a size eight in American Eagle jeans and then a twelve in Hollister because all of these brands have different sizing. But most girls including myself let that simple size change get us down about our weight, why?

As I shopped for my first pair of slacks this past week, I found myself incredibly frustrated with the sizing. Out of the three pair of pants I bought each of them were completely different number sizes. As I was sitting in the dressing room and I came outside to show my best friend, who accompanied me to go shopping, I said "Literally none of these sizes matter, it only matters what fits, ya know?" She looked at me and laughed and said: "Ya Kart you are right."

It is so incredibly true, as women why do we let what the size says on the label control the way we feel about our thick thighs and wide waste lines?

I think as long as you are happy in your own skin, then you should forget about all of the ideal pant sizes. If you find yourself unhappy, then I hope you have the courage to change your lifestyle in the healthiest way. All I know is at the end of the day it does not matter what the scale or number on your jeans says. What does matter is how you feel about yourself and the confidence you put out into the world because every woman deserves to have that.
