(dedicated to K who is having anerxeia problems this is for you, i hope you know your beautiful and i love you---> and yes you do have ribs so look up to the world and smile)

From this point forward

I will not stand to be unhappy any longer.

I will not stand to be broken down,

broken apart,

broken-hearted.

From this point forward

my success does not depend on my waistline

and my strength does not depend on my weakness.

My biggest fear is notthe nutrition label.

From this point forward

I will not worry those who love me.

I will not look at those

with hip bones

and rib cages and be jealous.

I will not be afraid

to eat the birthday cake you made me.

I will not measure every morsel as if any more would make it poison.

From this point forward food is not my enemy

Size zero is not beautiful

and 90 pounds is not ideal.

I am no longer enslaved by my scale

and it is not an awful day when I weigh enoughto donate blood.

From this point forward

the only things coming out of my mouth will be words.

I will no longer be called

Disgraceful,

Disgusting,

Distasteful.

From this point forward

I am Inspired,

Indestructable,

Independent.
