my jacket

i know my body has been changing (slowly, slowly) — not in any major way, not it any real visible way (to me at least).
but when i notice these things, all i feel is fear.
fear of failure — what happens if people notice, and then i gain the weight back? how many will feel disappointed? what a shame, they’ll say.
i start to focus more on what i put in my body and how i use my body. i start to belittle myself for every cookie i eat, for every run i miss, for every coke i drink.
what happens if those clothes become tight again? what negative depth will my mind reach then?
i always like to think that i’m better than this. that these things don’t affect me anymore. but i’m always wrong.
