being

though i am unhappy about my weight i still like me. fifteen, ten or maybe even five years ago this would not have been the case. i have a not so kind history with how i see my body and therefore have felt about my body therefore my whole self. for about a month now i have been focused on getting rid of this unwanted weight.

yesterday, i smiled at myself. i said, “girl i like you. i am not for this weight, but i am for you.” at that moment i did the victory dance.
