Perspective is what allows us to step back and see the entire forest instead of just the same old tree we keep running into again and again.

Becoming critical in the face of criticism, only inspires more criticism.

Worry, shame, and fear can't be the energy with which we deal with food and weight. It only spurs us to eat more food and produce more glucose/sugar which gets stored as fat.

You never want to tie your responsibility to another's irresponsibility.

Stress is an indicator of our belief in the value and validity of our worries and fears.
