I love my body

I was looking through the memories, and I saw this challange that was origionally started by vanillanutcreme. I thought I would start it again.
I love my body.
After 8 years of anorexia with some bulimia thrown into the mix. It's still strong. Even though I'm currently pulling myself out of a 16 month relapse, I still have a positive attitude. I've never given up. A dietician put me on a big meal plan and I had the courage to eat all of it even though it was so painful at first. I'm willing to do anything to kick my eating disorder in the ass. I love my new "game over" mentality. One day, 6 months ago, I looked into the mirror at my body which was quickly withering away and said fuck this shit. I've never looked back.

I love my hair.
Despite the malnutrition. It is still long and beautiful.

I love my eyes.
They are dark blue and huge and get noticed all the time.

I love my hands.
They allow me to do almost anything. I like using them for art projects, writing, and cooking mostly.

I love my voice.
I've been singing since I was 5. Every time my beautiful voice comes out of my body, it reminds me that I need to take care of my body, because we all need to use the gifts we have. I have a communication degree and used my voice to get the skinny latte ad pulled from the Starbucks I visit often.

I love my legs.
Despite the past malnutrition and cerebral palsy, my legs let me walk around all day.

I love my breasts.
They are a fairly new thing. I developed them in the last six months. It's fun to be able to wear clothes that I couldn't wear before.

I love my spirit...
and no matter what happens I never give up!

& I love you.





I love that I can do this.




ohhh & I love, love, love my name Brianna Elizabeth means woman of strength by the grace of God.
very powerful
My dad picked my name b/c I was born way early with an infection that 95% of babies die from/ My dad picked my name as a prayer because he was afraid he would lose his wife and his daughter. I've overcome incredible odds in my life that some may see as insurmountable. I can definitely get rid of anorexia. It's all possible.
peace & love,
~Brianna
