T/W: ED, body image
I can’t imagine someone loving my body.
Past partners have criticized me when I was thinner than I am now. It’s a topic of conversation in my life how I don’t stick to my diets and exercise routines.
I’m more used to people leaving me or criticizing me than anyone treating me well enough that I can regulate my nervous system in their presence.
Here’s your reminder that you’re not at war with your body. You’re in the cross fire of everyone else hating themselves. Same with political issues.
We can choose to love our bodies even when no one else does. Just like our hearts and souls.
