He’s helped me gain 10 pounds through happy dates and cozy eating that relationships usually bring about, but he’s also helped me reject perfection.
I struggled so much with weight loss over perfection. I was so upset that the chances of me having a perfect body was slim and I already had a list of surgeries I wanted before I was 19. I wanted perfect shaped everything without any scars (even after surgery). I had drowned myself in sorrow and frustration over the female equivalent of Sisyphus, and it had always led me to give up.
Now as a 21 year old, I finally met someone who showed me a different aspect on things, instead of making me feel “good enough” like past, reckless relationships had. Even as I confided in close friends, they (the girls I had deemed perfect) also had these incredible issues with themselves.
I’m back to eating healthy and staying active, except now it’s easy. I had always imagined the negativity that plagued me as a demon, gripping on to me with little claws and attacking me when I was alone. But now it’s gone. And I don’t feel like a calorie counting circus freak like before. Instead I can make productive choices and form habits and feel like I’m living a fulfilled and balanced life. I’m able to improve myself naturally and at a happy pace without the feeling of a giant clock ticking above me, waiting to punish me for not losing my calculated pounds on time.
I’m happier and it’s easier than ever. I just thought I’d share.
