You Are Not Your Size

I looked it the mirror as I spun around in a dress I hadn’t worn in a while. Immediately, I began to panic about my reflection.

Why doesn’t this dress look the same as it did before? I thought, staring at the mirror.

Facing the mirror with joy (or even minimal satisfaction) is always a challenge. Rarely can a woman say that she loves what she sees. Even when I was underweight and at an unhealthy size as an anorexic, I didn’t like what I saw in the mirror.
