67 LBS

It's true that

I've lost weight

and that

I'm healthier

and fitter;

 

I can lift more

and run farther...

but it feels like

it's not enough -

like it will never be enough.

 

I know that 67 lbs

is a lot.

I know that.

but I still feel like 160 lbs

is 30 lbs too much. 

 

I wish I could

convince myself

that my body

is enough -

for me and for other people

 

I don't know

if I can do that

or if I'll

ever be able to 

but I'm working on it.
