Memorable Quotes:
"The really important thing to understand is that looking a certain way or losing a certain amount of weight does not equal more happiness. Changing your physical appearance will not fix your problems. It will not fix your insecurities."
"Thinking that losing weight or looking a certain way will fix or heal your insecurities, it's not necessarily true. There is so much more that goes into the healing process. But working on your aesthetics is definitely a component as is working on your overall health."
No relationship is perfect, and that's the same when it comes to your relationship with your body. It's not gonna be perfect. There will be good days. There will be bad days. It's gonna be ups and downs. But it's not okay to tear yourself apart. It's not okay to let someone tear you down or to compare yourself to others."
