In order to learn how to discipline our emotions, we need to understand ourselves - why we react the way we do, why we are the way we are. Think of ourselves as a computer and in order for it to function right, we need to know how it works so we can troubleshoot it SPECIFICALLY.

You say you are an introvert. Therefore, you are aware that too much outside stimulus affects you easily. That is great that you are aware of this. This is called self-awareness.
While extroverts get their energy from their surroundings and from other people, introverts are the opposite: you recharge from within, without the need for anything or anyone else. Some think this is so emo but think of it as a good thing.
You cannot control all the drama around you but the one thing you can control is your attitude towards it. Being an introvert, it is ALREADY in your nature to harness the strength and patience from within. So use it power. This means, no matter what shit is thrown at you, if you got your shit together from the inside, you are unshakeable.

To stay sane, positive and even gain new perspective in almost any situation, you just need to try to find some alone time. Be it in a bathroom cubicle, a chapel, inside your car, fire exit or any place you can find some peace and quiet even just for 5-10minutes. It really is about inhaling the new energy from that momentary isolation then exhaling all the negative energy.
Actually, this is a form of meditation but I don't want to say that because others don't really understand or believe in its effectivity. So best to call it alone time - Me Time. Trust me: IT ALWAYS WORKS.

"Where do i begin? It's so hard!"

I get this question ALLLLLL the time.... okay....
Hmmm, where do i begin?
As corny as it sounds, it all starts with the mind. Just like with any goal or aspiration we have in life, how bad do you want it? What are you willing to do and sacrifice to achieve it AND maintain it?
People think I am just naturally slim. No I am not. I am NOT one of those girls who can eat whatever she wants and never gets fat. How I wish that were the case. So let me apply those questions to myself:

---

How bad do I want it?
In this cutthroat business of modelling and entertainment, if I want to keep working, I need to stay fit and slim. This is the career I choose to be in so this is one of the things I need to maintain to continue working.

---

What am I willing to do and sacrifice to achieve it?
As much as I would love to eat anytime and anything I want, I can't. So i CHOOSE to discipline myself by eating clean 6 days a week - no sugars, no simple or bad carbs, no dairy, no oily foods. I eat a lot of salad, fresh fruits and vegetables, steamed or grilled fish and LOTS of water.
Then I cheat and eat insane amounts of whatever I want usually on a Saturday or Sunday.
Is it hard? Fuck yeah. Is it hassle? Fuck yeah. But what is more important to me: the creamy pasta and pizza in front of me that may make me happy for a few minutes or so.... Or feeling great about myself because I focused on the long-term goal - staying slim, healthy and happily working.

---

Maintaining it?
Losing weight is easy especially with all these fad diets but guess what? They don't last. Long-term weight loss is NEVER successful. Maintenance is MORE important because in order to achieve this, you will need to make it a lifestyle. Meaning, it is not for 14 days or a month or even a year. It is hopefully until the day you die (as morbid as that sounds).

---

I wish i could say in a nicer way but sadly there are no shortcuts. If it was easy, everybody would have a banging body.
So ask yourself these questions and know that in order to get results, you will need to give up previous eating and lifestyle habits, not just for awhile but for a lifetime.
