"congrats on getting healthy" was what the doctor said after weighing me
i lost over 100 pounds and myself
i was finally not overweight but i cant funtion without almost passing out
but im healthy
An apology Letter to My Body
Dear body,
I am sorry
For once hating your small Asian eyes
And your mildly yellow skin color
because everyone around you was white
shame courses through my veins as if it were
the adrenaline i lack
that familiar sour taste in my mouth
and my head resting against the toilet seat
Food was always troublesome
I never had a favorite
My portions had to be smaller than theirs
This body needed to be thinner
Food became a chore
