“20 min: This is insane in the membrane; we've just had four chances in 40 seconds! This is one of the most dramatic minutes in any World Cup match ever. Romania are destroying Argentina on the counter and could easily be 3-1 up. Then again it could also be 2-2. Romania's first chance came far too easily. Munteanu curved a long ball down the left to Dumitrescu, who slipped Caceres with laughable ease and ran into the area as Cáceres went down holding his snout. The angle was too tight for the shot so he laid it back for the onrushing Popescu, whose first-time shot from 15 yards was blocked by the legs of Islas. Redondo probably did just enough to put Popescu off.”
“For as long as I can remember, this is how I perceived my body. Legs are okay, but that darn stomach. It was never good enough, flat enough, tight enough. The fact that I was using my belly as a determinant for whether or not I was successful is INSANE IN THE MEMBRANE. A recipe for catastrophe. […] I had become one of those people without a weight problem, complaining about my weight. I was more self-conscious with the body so many girls dreamed to have than the one I had when I was fifteen pounds heavier. See, this is the power of the words you use with yourself. Would you talk to your three-year-old daughter in the same manner as you do yourself? A friend? Your sister? Your mother? See, friends, I've been on this journey a heck of a long time. Changing these perceptions of myself, beginning to see my beauty in the mirror before my perceived imperfections, and actually talking to myself as if I'm on the same team instead of the enemy has taken me years of incredibly hard work. It probably took so long because of the years I'd spent getting really good at hating it. Ending the habit of looking to see if I'd become Susie Six Pack in literally every mirror I passed was a hard one to quit.”
