Remember me?

So fellow followers...you might have been wondering where The Zaftig went. Well, I was on a bit of a hiatus, a hiatus from dieting. Instead of gaining a sense of self, it seems like all I have gained are a few extra pounds. During this "self-appointed" hiatus, I have been sinking into a never-ending ocean of body loathing and a loss of beauty within and outside of myself.
   So I fell off the deep end, at speeds that may seem unimaginable. But, I am back, and this time, full force. As I swim back up to the shallow water, I lose a little bit of breathe, and try to regain my consciousness. With each stroke, breast stroke, side stroke, backstroke, butterfly, I became stronger, weaker, stronger, and weaker. Yet, I must use all my strength to get back to the shallow water where I can breathe and regain control over my own body.
