What I Don’t Usually Say

I talk about my weight every single week. I talk about what I eat, what I inject, what I feel, what I’m afraid of. I have made a whole life out of saying the quiet parts out loud.

Not all of them. Not every day. But they get to me more than I let on, more than I show, more than I have ever admitted in a post or a vlog or a Monday Meeting. And I think it’s time I actually say it, because the whole point of this space is that we tell the truth here. Even when it’s uncomfortable. Especially when it’s uncomfortable.
