Sadie Robertson says God helps her with jealousy, insecurity issues

"Duck Dynasty" teen Sadie Robertson opened up with fans in a new video posted to YouTube two weeks ago. 

Robertson admitted to struggling with jealousy and insecurity, and said that God has helped her to be happy with herself. 

"I'm just going to be straight up honest with everything," the 17-year-old said. "I struggle with jealousy, and I struggle with comparing myself to other people... I'm just like any other girl. I look in the mirror and I pick out a flaw."

The "Dancing with the Stars" alum rattled off her height, weight, and clothing sizes before pointing out the things she perceives as flaws. 

"I am 5-foot-7, I weigh 122 pounds, I wear a size 26 in jeans, a small or a medium top... I wear a size 2 in a dress, and I eat all the time; I'm not toned. I don't have abs," she admitted. 

Robertson spoke to both herself and her fans when she said personal goals should not be based on what other people are doing, but come from a personal conversation between oneself and God. 

"Don't look at somebody and say 'that's what I want to be' because in reality, if you're seeking self-approval or human approval you're never gonna reach your goal. You can only reach it by God," she insisted. 

In addition to being a reality star, Robertson is an author and has a prom dress line through Sherri Hill. Both the clothing line and book are called "Live Original," and reflect the message Robertson wants to share with the world. 

"That's what I want to see in people," she said. "You can only be the best 'you' you can be."
