My dearest lifelong companion,

I must first apologize to you for being unfaithful and disrespectful to you. You do nothing but support me unconditionally. You take care of my blood, bones, muscles, heart, organs, hormones, brain functions, breathing, seeing, feeling, thinking, and all the functions I need to be ALIVE. Yet despite all this I continue to let you down. I don't treat you the way you treat me...I failed you but you have not yet failed me.
I simply just take total advantage of everything that you do for me. I eat poorly and never exercise you, and I even let my mind slip and my soul weaken. I am sure that one day this constant disregard for your well being with stop your proper functions and I will suffer because of my mistreatment of you, my body. From this day forward I will promise you that I will respect you and love you the way that you take care of and support me. We are in this for LIFE and until it’s our time to separate, I will be your faithful partner in this journey of life.I promise to feed you clean and healthy things that will not clog and choke you with fat, salt, sweet, and other nasty chemicals.
I promise to move you regularly, even if it means going dancing, lifting weights, climbing a wall, jogging, biking riding, swimming....the list goes on and on as there are so many ways to move you. I also promise to keep my mind-body-soul connection active and not let it become further disjointed than it already is. This means that I will read books about how to keep my mind peaceful; I will read about how to develop love for you and appreciate you. I will read about how to love what is inside as well as outside.
If I do slip and eat bad or not move you, then I will not stop but continue going, there is no point in giving up...we can only move forward...together.
I love you body and I am sorry for letting you get out of control.
Your faithful inhabitant,
Angie
