I feel like an alien in this new body.
I promised to never complain if I ever got thin and then I broke my promise.
The only things about me that still look like me are my hair and my smile. It scares me to be a new person and I try to push through it every day.
Everything inside has changed as well. I'm not the "
Fat Lady in Accounting" as I was for all of my adult life until now.
Today I am learning what it is like to be thin, attractive and healthy.
I started daily, constant photography as a way to get my terrified self out of the house and learn to be the new me.
It's turned into more than that.
