The Path
This post isn't about weight loss. It isn't a before & after story.
It is the fullness of me, surrendering to the process of coming into acceptance with myself. With my truth, with my heart, with my body, with my mind.
It is the path from self-hatred to tolerance, to the stripping away of judgement itself. It is a work in progress, a story of success, and so many, many failures.
It is the path of ah-ha moments, of thinking I've figured it out, only to learn I know nothing. It is the discovery of self evolving into the awareness of "Who am I?"
It is a stripping away... of lbs, extensions, wigs, weaves, fake nails, make-up, alcohol, binge eating, fear, loneliness, trauma, anger, resentment, toxic relationships, abuse, and neglect.
It is walking towards myself and saying, "Okay, I'm waving the white flag. I want peace on this land." Finally.
It is the relinquishing of control, the journey towards surrender, the embracing of uncertainty and learning to be okay with what is.
With what IS:
Every stretch mark, blemish, scar.
Every lb, roll of fat, dimple in my thighs.
My short, curly, natural hair.
My wide hips, Black skin, big thighs.
My light, my shadow, MYSELF.
It is a journey that has no end and it is beauty unfolding. It is me and I am a reflection of you.
If you have been at war with yourself, know that you are not alone. Know that you are worth peace on your land.
Claim it and find freedom.
