\"hls<\/a><\/p>\n

I miss some aspects of life when I was big. 135lbs ago.<\/p>\n

I miss the reckless abandon.<\/p>\n

\"spring<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n

I miss the volume of food, the horizon of eats that lay before me on a table, knowing full well that the only thing stopping me was my fist-sized stomach. And even then there was always stretch.<\/p>\n

I miss the way the fourth slice of pizza tastes. The fifth even more.<\/p>\n

I miss bricks of brownie + ice cream + caramel + whipped cream + the crumblies of a Reese’s twosome. For a snack after lunch.<\/p>\n

\"spring<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n

I miss when menus at restaurants were just lists of delicious dinners. And nothing more nutritionally threatening.<\/p>\n

I miss not thinking for more than four seconds before deciding that, why yes, I\u2019d absolutely adore donuts for breakfast.<\/p>\n

I miss plunging my forearm into a bucket of thrice buttered pop corn at the movie theater. Shoveling mouthfuls of salted and soggy kernels into my gullet. Then Snow Caps. Then Sprite.<\/p>\n

\"spring<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n

I miss brunching with sausage, egg, and cheese on greased and griddled everything bagels in the dining hall at college. With hash browns and a mind on lunch.<\/p>\n

I miss all ten inches of that buffalo chicken pizza I called for when the party music stopped playing. And Kelis’ Milkshake.<\/p>\n

I miss not caring when or how my next meal came, only that it came. And stayed. And never left.<\/p>\n

I miss the way Cap\u2019n Crunch-ed so loudly I couldn\u2019t hear my dad hollering.<\/p>\n

I miss that feeling I had when every fiber of my anatomy believed food to be the kindest, most loving spirit a girl could know.<\/p>\n
