“My own eating disorder had begun with a friendly diet competition between my mother and myself, each of us trying to drop five pounds to look better in a bathing suit. It had started lighthearted and innocently enough--as innocent as denying yourself sustenance can be, that is--until I'd been unable to stop, something in me latching onto that restriction in a way that I'd assume other addicts latch onto their drug of choice. Eventually I'd lost fifty pounds and my period and my hair, and I needed help or I was going to die.”

“There is really only one thing I know for sure, one thing I believe in wholeheartedly and enough to write a book about, and that is what I wish I had said to my mother: We can do this. We can carry each other. You are not alone.”

“These are the things they don't tell you about motherhood. How after a lifetime of struggling to love yourself it will be an absolute miracle to love these babies so wholly and unconditionally, sure. But also how they will love themselves the same way, at least at first, and in that maybe you will find a level of healing that all the therapy and self-help in the world couldn't get you to because you will realize at some point you must have loved yourself the very same way. Or how seeing the way they are so comfortable in their own skin, the way they strut around so confident in the fact that they are the masterpiece we too believe them to be, will make all the wok we've done trying to suck it all in or hide it or simply avoid looking at it in the mirror seem kind of silly. Because of course it is. It's against everything we were born knowing.”
