This resonates so deeply within me. I was once significantly overweight (due to Prednisone injections to keep my heart going during cancer treatments in 2014), and after losing 70 pounds, I control everything... just like I did when I was 16 and was so significantly underweight that I needed to be hospitalized. I don't need a calculator: I just know. And I know people judge. I know they say nothing because nothing they say will change it.
While I can't eat cake (Celiac disease), that image of that thin slice was perfect. I saw that. I tasted the pleasure and the shame, too.
It never feels like enough, even when it is. Even with a tube in my nose, my collarbones sharp like a knife, it never was.
But I hope YOU know you are enough, and that is my honest truth for you. <3
