“There comes a point when it all becomes too much. When we feel too tired to fight anymore. But that is when the real work begins. Finding hope when you feel there is none. But please don’t give up. Hold on to hope.”

Respect yourself enough to walk away from anything that no longer grows you.

“The decision to be intimate… is not something that is given to you. Intimacy is not something that just happens between two people; it is a way of being alive. At every moment, we are choosing either to reveal ourselves or to protect ourselves, to value ourselves or to diminish ourselves, to tell the truth or to hide. To dive into life or to avoid it. Intimacy is making the choice to be connected to, rather than isolated from, our deepest truth at that moment.”

“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.”
