There are many ways to break a person down: whether persistence, verbal or physical brutalizations. The worst type, by far, is the quick lash of the tounge. "That makes you look frumpy..." Or "You've really gained some weight." Things she categorizes and compartmentalizations into foreign areas of the mind. Weight is a shallow, low blow, she thought. However, the words slice harsher than any insult she's ever heard. ****** Ugly ***** Lonely big girl. That's the garbage thrown to her. What she needs is reassurance. Affirmations--pretty and pathetic-- that she should be comfortable in her own flesh. The very body she breathes in and carries is the one to be loved. Size 2 or 22, pants and dresses don't immortalize the true beauty of being. They don't capture the heart and soul. But most important of all, they have no ******* impact on the radiance one emits.
