I feel everyone is put here for a reason. Everyone has a calling. I always thought my real calling was to help other people.

I like myself a lot more than I used to. I had a very difficult time in my twenties especially. It was hard for me to look in the mirror and find something that I liked about myself.

Food has always brought me comfort and the bingeing is triggered when I'm in a space that is not positive.

I'm fine the way I am. There's nothing wrong with me.

I can be happy with who I am, not what I should be, or what I might have been, or what someone tells me I must be.

Every body type is different - that's what makes you unique. What makes you special is you, and you are different from the next person.

Dreams can become a reality when we possess a vision that is characterized by the willingness to work hard, a desire for excellence, and a belief in our right and our responsiblity to be equal members of society.
