As a kid, I trained to be an Olympic gymnast. My schedule was rigorous. Four hours a day, Monday through Saturday, I was at the gym. My body was like a boy's, narrow hips, flat-chested, wide shoulders. When I was 12, I badly injured my ankle and was forced to stop training immediately.

We all want love and to feel safe, wanted, cared for, to like our selves, our bodies, to have families and feel okay in the world.

Only when we are sick and tired of being sick and tired do any of us do something different.
