You will never stop wanting more until you allow yourself to have what you already have. To take it in. Savor it. Now is a good time to do that . . .

If you decided to reteach yourself your own loveliness today, what would you do? How would you speak to yourself? Can you allow yourself that much?

Just because we form an opinion about ourselves, or anyone else, doesn't mean it is true.

Awareness, not deprivation, informs what you eat. Presence, not shame, changes how you see yourself and what you rely on.

If you want to eat when you're not hungry, you're hungry for something else.

Diets are based on the unspoken fear that you are a madwoman, a food terrorist, a lunatic…The promise of a diet is not only that you will have a different body; it is that in having a different body, you will have a different life. If you hate yourself enough, you will love yourself. If you torture yourself enough, you will become a peaceful, relaxed human being.

No act of love is ever wasted.
