Surrendering My Body

I didn’t have time to deal with it so, for years, I surrendered my body to trainers and nutritionists, Rolfers and acupuncturists. I squatted and ate kale and learned to breathe through exquisite pain. It was efficient discipline and I loathed it.
 
Then I wanted to budget more closely so I began yoga classes and riding my bike and walking everywhere. And I realized I loved not sweating or paying people to be my sadistic pseudo friends.
