“A woman with confidence is hypnotic. A smile is mesmerizing. Presence, openness, a sense of humor—these are all things that make a woman attractive. We’ve all experienced the presence of someone who walks in and lights up a room. It’s never about their looks but about their energy. Allow yourself to light up the room by being your beautiful self.”

“It suddenly hit me—it was nearly impossible to take good care of something I hated. I’d spent so long hating my body that I didn’t know how to respect and nurture myself or my body. By focusing so much on my exterior, I also robbed myself of the opportunity to feel good about myself and my body, simply because I didn't meet a cultural standard of beauty that is obsessed with thinness. That created stress that interfered with my weight loss and with my own happiness.”

“It’s important to have goals and reach for your dreams, but it’s never a reason not to enjoy the present moment. Ultimately it’s the journey, not the result, that brings the most happiness.”

“Many women sheepishly confess to hearing the words “You look like you lost weight” and thinking, So you thought I was fat before? When body image is a massive open wound, even the gentlest touch of a feather can burn. We can’t control what others say, but when we heal that wound we can choose to appreciate the soft touch of that feather and enjoy it as a compliment or simply ignore it.”
