Then...
Weigh, hate, berate. Starve, shake, stumble around in a haze. Over-exercise. Weigh, hate, berate. Isolate. Dream of food. Hide. Despair. Starve. Eat. Purge. Loneliness. Hate, berate. Cut. Compare. Judge. Measure, body check. Shrink, shrink, fade away. Weigh, hate, berate. Massacre food into tiny bites. Isolate. Freeze, layer clothing. Physical pain, mental torture. Binge, purge--laxatives, diuretics, diet pills. Cut out recipes, stare at them, never taste them. Berate, hate---justify. Start at beginning.
Now...
Laugh, love, smile. Dance, travel to faraway places. Dine, converse, giggle. Read, knit, cuddle. Breathe in, breathe out. Taste an array of flavors, drink in aromas, sample pleasure. Learn, teach, wonder. Connect. Pick flowers, swing, soak in the sun. Dream. Hope. Open the mind, the heart, the soul. Guffaw. Be free, be spontaneous, be at peace. Sip coffee with friends. Relate, listen, share. Breathe in, breathe out--soak in all of life's offerings. Discover joy, unlock identity, live in the moment. Dream for the future. Start at beginning, add more to the journey...
Cheers!
