“The biggest flaw in diets is people keep doing them.”

“Why don't we just change what we tell ourselves and I promise you'll start to believe it. And it's not going to happen overnight, but it's literally going to be the best decision you make.”

“When God created me he just put me in this body as this temporary vessel for all my skills, my purpose, and who I truly am. My purpose and my values shouldn't revolve around how much I weigh or anything that has to do with this temporary vessel.”
