I'm falling in love...

I am falling in love...with myself. There is a spring in my step, a joy in my smile, a lightness to my whole self. I look in the mirror and don't have to force myself to smile back. I catch glimpses of my whole body in windows or mirrors and slow down as I pass to enjoy. The guilt over the treatment of my body has been replaced by complete and total pride. People who meet me today may not appreciate the changes in my body but those who know me do. I get dressed in the morning with excitement over how clothes fit differently. I am falling in love with myself because I started to treat my whole being as something to be loved.
