the answer to a healthy self image?
don't get on a scale.

you're not fat. you're normal. normal is self defined.
so are you normal?

are you happy?

or are those two different questions completely?

can you walk down the aisles of an outdoor mall
and welcome the sunshine?

or do you cower under your shadow?

shadows are meant to show you how awesome you are
they're big and tall and they can be made into cool shapes
just like you.

your potential is not counting out calories.
it is being willing to eat chocolate.

it's a lot more than that too, though.

have you tried not beating yourself up? accepting that weakness
is not beauty?

i'm pretty sure you have. i'm pretty sure you know all this already.

it's unacceptable, this feeling. but you're not alone.

someday... we'll be ok.
