Dear Body,
I have put you through so much over the years. We haven’t always been friends, for most of my teenage / younger adult years, my mind and my body were at war with themselves. When I look back on pictures now, I realise just how bad things had gotten. I didn’t look after you, I was partying too much, allowing opinions of others to dictate my self worth and I was starving you of the nutrients you needed, all in the hope of feeling some type of control. Through heart ace and hurt, I was left feeling so broken but you continued to keep going, keep loving me and gave me the strength and hope that I needed. I am so thankful because look at us now, we are thriving!
You have allowed us to accomplish things I only ever used to think were distant dreams. You are strong and resilient and turned all the negativity from the past into a positive.
So dear body and mind of mine, life is too short to be at war with yourself. I will treat you with the utmost respect. I will remind you of just how amazing and special you truly are. We have bloody got this!
Love,
Laura
