Confessions of a Conduit: What Magdalene Wrote in the Sand when the Mob was Gone

TAKING MY BODY BACK
Over the past six months, I've lost 25 pounds. I know it's not a ton, compared to some, but I'm super happy about it because of what it symbolizes. I did it for many reasons, the main one being self-love.
