Why did I think I was fat. Two years later and an additional twenty pounds sitting on my hips and stomach, I’m looking back at these pictures of me at my physical and emotional worst, thousands of miles from home, so riddled with anxiety I couldn’t eat, could barely swallow, and what I remember so clearly is lying in bed and thinking, “Well at least I’ll lose some weight.” And why, two years, twenty pounds later, do I find myself looking at those photos and thinking, despite knowing how bad it felt, “I wish I still looked like that.” Why do I look at my body, my perfectly normal body, my body that is normal even with an extra twenty pounds, tell myself, “I want to be healthier,” but then immediately look to myself at my unhealthiest? Long for a self that was smaller and not so soft but physically and mentally an absolute ruin? I want to be better I want to do better I want to be healthy in all aspects and that means I can never go back to that body. I shouldn’t want to go back to that body. If the choice is between that body and an extra twenty pounds I should know which one to choose.

Humankind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return. To obtain, something of equal value must be lost.
