Shame.
It showed up when I was young.
And stayed, like a shadow.
Living in glances of people I loved
and ones I didn’t even know.
Always reminding me
of my body’s supposed value.
But what good is shame
when it comes to health?
Health is not about what weight we lose.
It’s about all the things a body can gain.
SUPER: Obesity is a matter of health.
SUPER: Shame has no place in it.
