A valentine for my body

Dear Body of Mine,

First I would like to thank you for holding me up when I felt I was going to fall. You've always been there for me and I've never been there for you.  I am sorry that I have treated you in a horrible way and purposely harmed you. I'm sorry for intentionally starving you and being destructive to you.  I'm sorry for blaming my problems on you.  I realize now that you are not the problem. The problem was me.  My self loathing, my depression, my illness.  I regret saying so many negatives about you.  I called you names you didn't deserve. I bullied you. I treated you unfairly.  I know now that you have provided me with legs to run with, arms to hug with,  and a face that I can use to smile with.   I promise, Body of Mine, from this day forward, I will love you no matter my size,  weight, or problems.  I will treat you with kindness.

Love from
KD
