A love letter to my body

Hi body.. It’s me.. I know that over the past several years we have been in somewhat of an abusive relationship. You have never let me down.. You get up when I need you to, you do the necessary things to get me through the day.. and how do I repay you? By gaining weight that isn’t healthy, eating crappy food and drinking.. and yet, morning after morning, you do what needs to be done, albeit sometimes begrudgingly.. so I have decided to make a commitment to you as a thank you for never letting me down over the past 29 years.

I promise to eat healthier and take you to the gym at least 5 days a week.
I promise that on Saturday mornings, we will go for a long walk around the lake downtown.
I promise I will get the 8 hours you need to keep going.
I promise to lose the weight that keeps you from running, bending, walking without pain.
I promise that as I lose the weight, I will keep it off.
I promise to parade you around in a two piece bikini next summer.

Thank you for your protection and constant support. From this day forward, I will take better care of you. I love you, my body..
