This is me. - 12.22.09
Pardon the perhaps graphic nature of this post. The above shot was taken about five minutes ago by Steve, my boyfriend. This is my body as of December 22, 2009. This is the second day.
This morning I have had some awesome zukes and carrots from last night so far. I might also munch on some flax and oat cereal (it's just sweet enough to be awesome) and for snacks today, I've got some fresh lettuce and tomatoes with which to make lettuce wraps. At my cat Cleo would say, "NOM NOM NOM."
Anyway, this is the reality I'm currently facing. That is my body, and unlike a lot of women, I did not look in the mirror and totally hate myself or think I was a blimp. To be honest, I really didn't care too much about my body until the last year or so. It's hard not to care, though, when I can't wear nice clothes and can't go places all day. I don't like my thighs rubbing together anymore. I know I can change all this, though, because I know what I once was. I am young and spry, I can bounce back. I can and I am able to do what I want when it comes to my body.
Thanks again for reading.
