How you eat is how you live.

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

Weight (too much or too little) is a by-product. Weight is what happens when you use food to flatten your life. Even with aching joints, it's not about food. Even with arthritis, diabetes, high blood pressure. It's about your desire to flatten your life. It's about the fact that you've given up without saying so. It's about your belief that it's not possible to live any other way - and you're using food to act that out without ever having to admit it.

What you pay attention to grows. Pay attention to your loveliness, your magnificent self. Begin now.

You are lovable, you are loving; your choices about food will reflect that, if you give yourself a chance.

Most of us spend our lives protecting ourselves from losses that have already happened.

It matters whether you see yourself as someone who is capable of effecting change or whether you see yourself as someone whose voice does not count. It matters whether you treat yourself with reverence or with carelessness. Every bit of work you do on yourself matters. Every time you choose love, it matters.
