Me the way I am is how I'm supposed to be

Its been a rather tough week and it is only going to get harder. It is finals week for me at school, but I am dealing with the stress. And I also had another therapy session. I now where a rubber band on my wrist. I forget what the therapist called it, though I snap the band slightly when I think bad about myself, when I compare myself to others, when I think of food in a bad way.

Yet I realized something today. I am where my body wants and needs to be. And that alone is beautiful. I am not skinny. I am not over weight. I am the way I am and thats how I am supposed to be. I am curvy, and my boyfriend loves it. I am short, and good things come in small packages.

I never wanted to be 5'7" and weigh but a feather. I look at that and realize how sickly that looks. Models that I once looked up to don't look well. I look healthy, vibrant, full of life! Thats all I want to be. And you know what, if others cant except little o'l me with lots of curves, well... thats just too bad. This is me.

who are you?

Allee, this is so beautiful and inspiring to me. I hope I'll be there someday too...Congrats :)

I'm happy you've come to this realization Allee ♥

oh allee, so glad you can now see what we all always knew :-)

Wow.....I am so glad you have gone that far and I hope I will someday reach this stage in my life. I am going to do the elastic band trick. I think my wrist may be a bit sore at first! Keep fighting and keep believing!
