I used to be bigger…. I was 130lbs… I played hard, I jumped high, I danced my heart out, and I really loved brownies.
Then I was in a relationship and life circumstances that drove me into depression, anxiety, and an outrageous eating disorder.
After nearly two years of being tiny (at one point I was under 86lbs…) I am desperately trying to find my way back to my bigger self… Physically. Emotionally. Spiritually. Find the woman who was… whole.
Growth of body. Growth of faith. Growth of trust… may I continue to move into the body and that existence again fearlessly, but may we also find contentment in our smallness that we are not forgotten, unseen, or unheard. We ARE women….here, living, loving, moving, growing.

Your words spoke to my heart as if they knew my battle… please continue to share your story. Your perspective is powerful, authentic, unfiltered, and courageous.
Our bodies are our homes…we live each day of this radical, chaotic, confusing, but blossoming experience in them. Show them interest, understanding, patience, care… Let them express, touch, explore, recuperate… treat them with respect, consciousness, curiosity, and love… Your body is your home…knock, answer, invite yourself back into it.
