That weight.

You know that weight you want to lose?

That bulge around your tummy?

Maybe a few pounds off your legs?

That my friend is life that you're going to lose.

That thrilling night at the movies with extra butter when he holds your hand for the first time.

That amazing thanksgiving when you felt like people were thankful for you.

I think of all my moments lost to anorexia.

When I was too scared to connect with friends over a meal.

What did that really cost me?

It costed me my life.

But I am here to tell you as you may have heard before: it doesn't matter.

Weight doesn't matter.

These pounds tell an incredible story of life.

An incredible life that I can confidently say I am proud of.

That I can insistently say it's worth it.

I would never even think of giving away those memories.

So why be angry at a little cellulite?

Don't waste your life at the cost of a few pounds.

Maybe this is a personal message for myself...

But hey if it resonates?

Be kind to yourself today and life your life!
