Thank you.

Thank you for sticking with me even when I put you through hell.Thank you for always telling my heart what it needs when my mind isn't sure. And thank you for being absolutely perfect at any size.

And I'm sorry.

I am sorry for saying such horrible things about you that I would never even say about my worst enemy. I'm sorry for depriving you of what you needed. I'm sorry for putting you through so much.

You have carried me through this life without faltering or failing. You have grown strong and shown me that your size doesn't matter as long as you feel good mentally and physically.

You have carried me through the highest highs and the lowest lows. You have endured everything life has thrown at you. You have loved me and made me more confident than I could have ever imagined.

No matter where I am in life, I know you will be there, like you always have, pushing me to move forward and continue to progress.

I know some days I hate you for no reason, but I promise to start putting you first. I promise to love you even on my worst days. And I promise to see you as you are, not through the distorted lens of my mind.

Thank you for being patient on this journey of self love. Thank you for forgiving my evil thoughts. Thank you for continuing to push through life with me. Thank you for doing your part in making me who I am and who I have always needed to be.

You have taken me up mountains. Slowly but surely, we got there together. And I will continue to nourish and support you as we continue this life together. I can't wait to see what incredible things we can accomplish.

One of my biggest pet peeves is when someone does not try to help their self before asking others. How can someone else be expected to help you if you do not first do that yourself? I'm all about helping those that need it when the time comes, however whenever someone does not even attempt to help him or herself first then that becomes a huge problem. As we all have learned, people tend to take advantage of us in one way or another. I am sure we all read this short story when we were younger and it follows that same principle:

While being home for break this week and picking up hours at work, I remember what it is like to in fast food. Although there are many aspects to the job, the customers are always number one priority. Anyone who works in fast food knows that you come across these types of customers AT LEAST once a day:
