Ode to My Functional Body
- by Lori
(Inspired by an article I just translated on body image and working on the idea of a functional body as part of therapy rather than on just correcting body size perception... and to think Luna had the idea first!)
So here is an Ode to my functional body:
Legs - I love the way you can run and make me feel exhilarated and happy and move me high into the sky on the swings in the park so I feel like I am flying.
Arms and hands, you have strength to carry things, type on the computer, cook, hug people, and be very useful all the time.
I like my strong body and that it allows me to do things myself and enjoy them.
Smile... that felt good.
