I'm imagining clothes on a thinner body...

On body grief when trying on new clothes

Content warnings—mentions of intentional weight loss including medical interventions and intimate reflections on my own shifting body image. This is a vulnerable post so I’m putting it behind a paywall. If you are struggling to afford the 5USD/monthly—message me, I can offer sliding scale or comp’d memberships. If you are a fellow writer or artist or maker, I’m open to exchanges.

This post is not necessarily about the changing rhetoric around bodies. It’s about the thoughts that run through my mind when I get dressed or try on new clothes.
