A commitment to my body

 I was thinking about my quest to make peace with my body and all of the conditions in which I need to accept my body as it is in this very second; it struck me that what was rolling through my mind sounded a lot like wedding vows.  Hmm, interesting.  Let's see...

I, Chibi, take you, Body, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better or worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish; from this day forward until death do us part.

I take you to be my constant friend and faithful partner, in good times and in bad, and in joy as well as sorrow.  I promise to love you unconditionally, to support your goals, to honour and respect you, to laugh and to cry with you.

I will cherish our union and love you more each day.  I will trust and respect you, regardless of the obstacles we may face together.  I take you, loving what I know of you and trusting what I do not yet know.  I eagerly anticipate the chance to grow together.

Yup.  I think that might work.  :)
