“We become too embarrassed to meet up with the friend we haven’t seen in years because we might have gained weight. We sabotage relationships by thinking we’re unworthy of physical affection. We hide our face when we have breakouts. We opt out of the dance class because we’re worried we’ll look ridiculous. We miss out on sex positions because we’re afraid we’ll crush our partner with our weight. We dread family holidays because someone might say something about how we look. We don’t approach potential friends or lovers because we assume they will immediately judge our appearance negatively. We try to shrink when walking in public spaces in order to take up as little room as possible. We build our lives around the belief that we are undeserving of attention, love, and amazing opportunities, when in reality this couldn’t be further from the truth.”
― Jes Baker, Things No One Will Tell Fat Girls: A Handbook for Unapologetic Living

“Even when you have doubts, take that step. Take chances. Mistakes are never a failure—they can be turned into wisdom.”

“I love the way that each book—any book—is its own journey. You open it, and off you go….”
