“The secret of making lasting change is to acknowledge and accept that real change takes time and patience. We didn't get chronically ill overnight. We didn't gain weight in one week or even one month. Good chance, it may take us longer than twenty-one days to overcome whatever we're facing. Whether it's something physical, emotional, spiritual, or a combination, we may need to be realistic in our goals for meaningful change to happen. The first step is getting started!”
― Dana Arcuri, Reinventing You: Simple Steps to Transform Your Body, Mind, & Spirit

“To a man, a woman is fun to be with … until she gains weight. To a woman, a man is fun to live with … until he loses his job.”

“I'd always assumed Beth and I would be friends forever. But then in middle of the eighth grade, the Goldbergs went through the World's Nastiest Divorce.
Beth went a little nuts.
I don't blame her. When her dad got involved with this twenty-one year old dental hygienist, Beth got involved with the junk food aisle at the grocery store. She carried processed snack cakes the way toddlers carry teddy bears. She gained, like, twenty pounds, but I didn't think it was a big deal. I figured she'd get back to her usual weight once the shock wore off.
Unfortunately, I wasn't the only person who noticed.
May 14 was 'Fun and Fit Day" at Surry Middle School, so the gym was full of booths set up by local health clubs and doctors and dentists and sports leagues, all trying to entice us to not end up as couch potatoes. That part was fine. What wasn't fine was when the whole school sat down to watch the eighth-grade cheerleaders' program on physical fitness.”
― Katie Alender, Bad Girls Don't Die

“The thought of gaining weight was all she needed to lose her appetite completely. Not that Jessica – a model-slim, perfect size-six – ever had to worry about her weight.”
― Francine Pascal, Last Chance

“It may be easier to believe that we remain lean because we're virtuous and we get fat because we're not, but the evidence simply says otherwise. Virtue has little more to with our weight than our height. When we grow taller, it's hormones and enzymes that are promoting growth, and we consume more calories than we expend as a result. Growth is the cause - increased appetite and decreased energy expenditure (gluttony and sloth) are the effects. When we grow fatter, the same is true as well.

We don't get fat because we overeat; we overeat because were fat.”
― Gary Taubes, Why We Get Fat: And What to Do About It

“Chubby chasers don't prove that fat is beautiful. Chubby chasers show us that ugliness is optional.”
― Dan Oliverio, The Round World: Life at the Intersection of Love, Sex, and Fat

― Salman Rushdie, Quichotte

“I'm gaining weight in the role
I was not even casted or stole!

love her ten times more.
If she puts on a hundred pounds,

If she puts on a thousand pounds,
love her a thousand times more.”
― Matshona Dhliwayo

“Things only got worse as I packed on more pounds and the activitities I allowed myself to take part in became even more limited. It's not that I didn'T go on diets or try to control what I was eating many times over the years; I did. But the compulsion to overeat was to strong that the moments of weakness far overwhelmed the temporary victories I achieved.”
― Nancy Makin, 703: How I Lost More Than a Quarter Ton and Gained a Life

“The place and the food should be appropriate. What we eat is very important. Tell me what you eat and I will tell you who you are. Tell me where you eat, and I will tell you who you are.
We are what we consume. If we look deeply into what and how much we consume every day, we’ll come to know our own nature very well. We have to eat, drink, and consume, but if we do it unmindfully, we may destroy
our body and our consciousness.”
― Thich Nhat Hanh, How to Eat

“Your ideal weight is a collection of experiences, feelings, ambitions, and mental processes. It's a space that is fluid, ever-changing, and abstract. There is no numerical relation to what is best. Instead, you must live your life free from numerical restraints. An ideal weight is not one you can predict, choose, or write down as a digit. Rather, it's a place you reach by thinking very little about your body at all. You reach it without realizing it, You reach it without micromanaging it, You reach it without judgement. And you reach it seemingly by accident while living your life to its fullest every day.”
― Brittany Burgunder

“Jus' cause you done set round and growed ruffles round yo' hips nobody can't mention fat 'thout you makin' out they talkin' bout you.”

“In my experience women can balloon for no reason at all.”
― Sol Luckman, Cali the Destroyer

“Eloise began to gain weight, which made her even more beautiful.”
― Sarah Addison Allen, Other Birds

“I'd sit in that chair without complexity, without any sense of consciousness even, that there I was, sitting in it. It was just a chair; not notable to be registered as tormenting to the psyche. I'd lower myself in, then, when done, I'd higher myself out of it. All normal. Not now, daughter. Now, there's a searing mental pain anytime I have doings with the chair because slightly my rear brushes the armrest of one side as I'm lowering myself in or highering myself out of it, or else my rear brushes similarly the armrest of the other side. These armrests aren't capable of articulation," she stressed. "They're stuck fast to the body because it's a one-piece chair and of course the chair itself can't have gotten smaller which means my rear's gotten bigger but it's gotten bigger without the concomitant modification to a new way of negotiating furniture and instead is still acting from the retention of the memory of how smaller in the olden days it used to be." I opened my mouth, not sure, to say something - or maybe just to have it hang open. "But understand, daughter," went on ma, "I'm not saying my rear cannot now fit in the chair because the chair's become too tight for it. It can still fit in. It's just that now it encompasses a certain amount of extra inches or fractions of inches to which it has never acclimatised and which in the old days didn't used to be.”
― Anna Burns, Milkman

“The most important thing that will have changed is your mindset, not your weight. The reason so many diets fail is that they focus on the body without training the mind. So when the strict and difficult diet regimen is over, the mind has not developed good habits to live by, and usually within a year, weight gain creeps back on. In the 1% Better example, however, the mind has become okay with eating slightly less and exercising a little more each day. It has formed an achievement habit that you can sustain for the rest of your life.”

“The mold she was dealing with produced zearalenone, which was affecting her hormones. The key to getting her to even be able to function was to start progesterone during the luteal phase. She was able to function enough to start the detox process and heal from the mold.”
