I want to give up the habit of blaming my body for how it changes, or how it stays the same. Instead, I want to celebrate how the body moves, what it might be capable of.

It takes effort to relax into the simple animal fact of my body: that I need to eat, that I deserve to eat, at any size.

My body is not a problem, and taking pleasure in eating, and becoming friendly with food and eating, will go farther towards taking care of my wellbeing.

All manner of clothes are contentious and triggering objects. 'I can be proud of my body' is what I wish I had heard, what I wish I could believe, and where I want to land. How to begin?

My body is not my enemy because it has survived me and survived for me, survived the abuse I put it through. Some days, I can look myself in the mirror.

Every garment returned was another failure, another visible piece of shame, some other unavoidable sin. But shrinking was never the answer; the body I have now is not a problem to solve.

It's almost the end of the year! I'm still updating, and will continue to do so till the 31st. Will announce the new project for 2024 on the 2nd of January!

I am fighting to remember that caring for my family must be collaborative to be sustainable. And that even in my fallow year, my capacity to care is intact, valuable, and valued.

I invite myself to consider more for my life than what I had imagined. I can turn away from the closed path, and I can be gentle in that redirection. I can change, slowly.

I hope I can meet myself with kindness, even as I make more mistakes. And in the act of forgiving every version of myself, I hope I can restore some faith in my journey.

'I am capable' is a radical assertion against the horrifying fear of failing myself that is the script playing in a loop in my mind. I am capable today. I am capable β despite.
