173/365 I need love and affection

"You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection."
-- Buddha

I just wanted to clarify on my post yesterday...I understand that some of you still see me as thin and are confused. Why yes! I'm petite and always have been. My body image is something I've struggled with, even as a small child. I was always small and tiny. But I saw myself as something else. By high school, my normal tiny self became a scarily tinier version. But now I am at my normal weight. How do I know it's normal? Because I can eat and eat and my weight doesn't fluctuate much. My body is happy here.
I still struggle with body image. Everyday I do. It's something I hope to overcome soon. I mean, I can't imagine reaching the end of my life and saying, "Why the HECK did how my pants fit matter so much?! What a silly thing to have exhausted so much energy my entire life worrying about!" It really does seem so silly. But apparently not silly enough for me to let go completely.
I plan on blogging a bit more about this, just because I have been contacted my people who continue to struggle with this and I would like to offer any help I can. So stay tuned for all that.
