Dear body..
i thought i would share this as i find it really helpful and write it to myself everyday, even though i dont always believe it!
Dear body
i just wanted to say thank you. Thank you for all the amazing things to do to keep me alive and healthy. Thank you for allowing me to do all the wonderful things that i love like swimming, dancing, yoga, walking, smiling, laughing, watching movies, cooking, talking, traveling, breathing, living!! (i could go on and on..!), without you no of this would be possible! and thank you so much for never giving on my me after all i have put you through i am so so greatful and i am so sorry for mistreating you in the past, it will never happen again!! i am also so glad we are friends now, you tell me what you need, i listen respond and trust you and you don't change!!! ah i am so lucky to have you beautiful body
thank you :)
love always evelyn x xx x x x x x
beautiful :) Love this! x
I really admire that you write this, even when you don't believe it. So, even though i don't feel like writing my own, Im going to!
Thank you for putting up with the horrible treatment you've received in the past. Thanks for all you allow to experience, from sitting with friends, to playing with my nephew and niece; from walking in the wind, to listening to music. I'm so sorry for limiting your abilities. I want to work with you, not against you, and I want to see you at your best - I don't even know what that is like! But Imust believe that I will know your true potential, and feel i belong in you. We can do this together. I'm still not entirely sure how to get there fully, but please stick with me, and I'll do my best.
I feel a bit sad having written that, but this is the time to ask, "What can I do about this?" I know some things I can do, despite being in a confused place today. Keeping up the trust is one thing anyway - so I'll speak to myself positively, and act as I know how for my body.
Thanks for bringing to my attention how important my fragile, human body is. None of us is indestructible.

Wonderful girls, great inspiration for us all. We live in times where so much pressure is put on sculpturing bodies and controlling them, not listening to them.
Changes happen even if we don’t believe it, because repeated theory becomes a fact...
We have one body for life, time to fall in love with it - love can be for ever....:)

i am in awe of you lot i want so much to do this but at the moment i can barely look at or live in my body i feel trapped so to sit down and write it a letter seems a million miles away, but wow i think what you have done is amazing .... and i will do it one day!
Hi Cir,
Sometimes can be helpful if you write the letter not from you, but from someone who does love your body.(everybody has people like that, we just do not believe it)
As well using imagination and to write it the way you would like to be in the future can help.
Imagination and visualisation is very powerful. It
You are fantastic writer – it is not a sin to use it for yourself...
Happy letter writing...

Thanks xxx
Also Ciara, i'm a big fan of 'at least' therapy. Maybe, instead of a letter, you could write (or simply think) "At least my body does x thing for me."
K.I.S.S.: Keep it simple, sensitive:)xx
Awh thank hun so nice of you to suggest that ...ok through gritted teeth and shaking hands here goes:
- my legs*** walk me to work, let me wear my fav new boots in the whole wiw world .. i love shoes =)
- my tummy*** disgests my food when it wants to and hurts like hell so is ovbiously fragile, not sure what it does other than that.... but it sure does love hot water bottles, and its healing inside and out thankfully.
- my arms*** i can wear all my bracelets, are healing finally after years of abuse at my hands. if i didnt have arms i could paint my nails or hug people or text all the small things
i do kinda like my hair( when it oes what i want somedays thee is no controling it) and eyes though, its a start....
mmm these are the problem areas and it was hard ( sorry marie ha) to write that but wil benefit me, i ont love my body or like it at that but lately i am realisin somethings i cant do as well or as comfortably now due to damage so at least i reaslised that....
Brilliant - i agree with you especially re your hair - love it!
Keep the head up, we can do it girl:)
