It's funny because my speech actually starts with:
"We have a problem."
We nearly did, because I just had hiccups and they were quite violent, so luckily we're all good now, so I can start.
We do have a problem though, and that is, the most important ...
we have in our lives is the one we have with ourselves and we are not taught about it.
I want to ... you to think about if we were taught how to look after ourselves using self-care, could we help enrich our lives, make us happier, combat our insecurities and enable us to reach our full potential?
For example, have you ever blamed your body? "Oh my God, that dress is so cute!",
"I can't wear it, I'd have some ... !",
"I know why he didn't call me back. It's because I ...
ten pounds last week. Damn those burritos!".
The thing is, body image is often associated with teenage girls.
But in fact, men and boys are affected too. Eating ...
and mental health can affect anyone at any age, at any time.
And that's why this is so important to me and why we are here today connecting with you all.
So many guys now are going to the ...
and they're even abusing steroids because their selfies would get more likes if they had a six-pack of abs, not beer.
I know that when I was younger, I would look in that mirror every single day, and hate what I saw.

"Why don't I have a thigh gap?",
"Why does it look like this thigh ate the other one?",
"Ugh, more ... ? Are you kidding me?",
"I hate myself."
And that's so sad because I can't get those years back of self-loathing, calorie ...
, and jealousy.
So I decided to use those experiences that I've had, to gain a better understanding of the relationship I have with my body and myself.
And by practising self-care, I was able to ... my life.
I hope, today, I can encourage you all, If you haven't already started, to start that journey of self-love.
It's crazy these days.
We have so many pressures, and now we have social media.
With the rise of ... media, we literary have a weapon of mass destruction to our self-esteem 24/7.
You guys, you consume social media.

Have you ever lost one, two, maybe even three hours of your life, deep in someone's profile?
Yeah?
Thinking, "Oh, wow, look, they're so in love.",
"Oh, they're going to all these amazing holidays!",
"They have the dream job!",
"They have this perfect life!",
"Why isn't my life like that?".

The scary thing is, that's not real. Social media is a curated, ... , often airbrushed, and sometimes even lifestyle illusion.
That's why we need to be ...
about it. That is why we need to be taught how to cope with these pressures in schools. And it's become my mission, to teach self-care and get it into the educational system. Because we need to be taught how to look after ourselves mentally, physically, and emotionally. I'm very grateful; I have over three million followers online and I commit to being authentic, honest with them, and not retouching the pictures that I own, because I have to forgive myself.
I've been in the industry for 13 years. And I would get images back of myself that my family couldn't even ... me when they flipped through the magazine. Literally couldn't find me!
I would look at these pictures and think,
"Oh, wow! Where did half of my arms go?,
My legs are so much skinnier!",
"I've got zero ... !",
"Is that how I'm meant to look?",
"I'm meant to be that perfected image?",
"Wow! Well, I can't even look like that and that's me!".

That's wrong!

So, why is it that we feel these insecurities in the first place?

Because from a very young age, we've been conditioned to believe that our ... and our happiness is highly dependent on our attractiveness.
