The Conflict Never Ends

by KatieP, in category Health | Midlife

I look at this photo and feel so conflicted. Part of me would do anything to look like this again. That vein in my shoulder? I haven’t seen it for years. I miss it. The sensation feels similar to what I imagine drug addiction does. All of the good, and perfect, and pure flashes into my mind, without any of the pain and anguish that accompanies it.

Dear Body - positive body image

Bikram Yoga #14 — the one where I wanted to give up

by KatieP, in category Health | Midlife
