Dear Body,
When did all this begin? We’ve been at odds for as long as I can remember. I started resenting you when I was six years old and someone called me fat. I wasn’t, but it didn’t matter. I had a creeping suspicion that you weren’t good enough, and one day I decided to try and change you. I decided to stop listening to you, to stop caring how you felt or what you wanted, to ignore your pleas and criticize you for not being perfect.
I’ve spent so much time and energy trying to figure out how to trick you, bribe you, coerce you and shame you into being different. Sometimes you resisted and sometimes you complied, but it was never good enough and I always demanded more from you. And there were times, when you failed me, that I hated you.......
