All of a sudden, I'm thinking that if I keep eating the way I'm eating, I'm not going to live long and I'm going to die. Having those thoughts as a young person can be very haunting.

People spend thousands in therapy digging and digging in the past. When you dig and dig, you find relics. Try to forgive yourself and get back on that ride.

Some people like to look at pictures of themselves before they lost weight. I don't particularly care for that. Whenever I was overweight, it was a very sad time in my life.

Stop trying to find something in food that will make you feel better.

I give people permission to be kids again.

I started my own class for people like me who can't find any place else to go.

I'm a very insecure and emotional person still looking to be loved by everyone else.
