At the end of my session with my therapist, I pulled up my shirt and showed her the large circle I had drawn on my stomach with a permanent marker. In the center of the circle, I had drawn a large X.
The circle surrounded the ten pounds I want to lose.
She asked me, “How would you feel if someone else drew the mark on your stomach?” Then she handed me a box of kleenex. Why is she handing me a box of kleenex?
And then I felt the answer to her question and started to cry. I was not being kind to myself; I was being mean, a bit of a bully.
Valentines Day was twenty-three days ago. Happy Valentines Day to you on February 14th, 2019. And Happy Valentines Day to you today.
Who is your valentine when you are single?
Who is your valentine when you are alone?
Be kind to yourself right now.
Love yourself after you shave your head and you are waiting for your hair to grow out.
Love yourself right now before you lose the weight.
Love yourself.
Be kind to yourself right now.
