Shadow and Self

It seems silly, but the thing that really drives me forward on walks is looking down and seeing the giant shadow I cast. I am walking so that I can be proud of every last bit of me- down to that shadow.

There are parts of myself I truly like and parts I want to improve. There is nothing I really, viably HATE. It's taken me my whole life to get to a point where I don't carry any self-loathing.  Even as a child, I hated looking at pictures or videos of myself. It was torturous.

I kind of put of dieting and such on hold for a long time because I was scared of how I might become obsessed with it as I once was. Although I've let myself gain so much weight, I am happy I waited. I was too much of a mental mess to delve into this journey before. I am of sound mind now and absolutely ready to take the steps necessary toward a completely healthy life.
