Guarantee you that your confidence will turn them on even more – Double chin troubles? Search for contouring videos on youtube – Trouble with confidence? Walk with your shoulders back and your head high, I promise you it works -Scared to eat in fear of judgment? Please eat, they’re probably not paying you any attention and if they are? Fuck em – Worried about if you could get away with wearing that? Well I’m telling…
