I thought I could love myself when I lost weight.
But I didn’t.
I thought I might love myself when I got a smaller waist.
But I didn’t.
Then, I thought I would love myself when I got abs,
Or when I got leaner legs
Or a bigger butt
Or smaller shoulders….
But self love never came.
The smaller my existence the further she ran.
Until I caught her,
With a plate full of food
And no plans to workout.
