Body Positivity

Kerena

Just wanted to share something that happened today with my boyfriend that made me smile. I've had anorexia before, back in middle school, and to this day, while I'm by no means a health addict, I'm constantly worried about the food I eat and feel guilty if I indulge. My boyfriend knows this very well. Today, while eating lunch at our university cafeteria, he got up to get more food, asking if there was anything I wanted. Water would be great! "Okay. ...I'm also getting you a cookie." What? No! "You've been busy and stressed and you deserve it so I'm getting you two cookies." It's something small and silly, but for someone who on most days struggles to like themselves like me, it's touching (especially since I also get hugs and affirmations that I'm beautiful, inside AND out ♡).
