For Us

Take your hands.

Place them on the left side of your chest, right where you can feel your heart beating the strongest.

Inhale until there’s no room left in your lungs.

Exhale until you are empty.

Repeat as many times as you need to rid all the thoughts from your head except the sound of your own breathing.

You have abused yourself for too long.

There is a beautiful person living inside you,

brimming with emotion and life and potential.

She has been smothered for too long by food

and fat

and insecurity.

Breathe in.

Breathe out.

Now ask yourself out loud:

Is this worth it?

Is this food really worth it?
