I encourage myself - and everyone - to focus on how you feel and take care of yourself as opposed to your waistline.

Own your beauty whatever shape or form it comes in.

There will always be people who can do it better than you, but that's a good thing! Start to see competition as inspiration — without envy.

There is always room for change, but you have to be open to that change.

Doubt means you're human - congratulations! It's natural to have these feelings, and if anything makes you humble, just don't be ruled by those emotions.

So much magic lies beyond our fears.

I'd take pasta over skinny any day. More importantly, I'd take health over looks.
