5 Powerful Quotes from This Episode
“It was that number on the scale. I couldn’t do it anymore – I needed to make a change. I knew what I was doing wasn’t working, and I needed a coach – I needed some help.”
“We worked on it for a while about having a compelling reason why you want to do this work. And I’m telling you: fitting into smaller clothes and being healthier is not compelling.”
“I continue to grow in my amazingness, I continue to lose weight, and I am going to get to my natural weight. I’m not there yet, but it’s going to happen for me.”
“Food was a friend. It was always there, available and dependable, and would evoke a feeling, potentially of joy—not always; sometimes afterwards you would eat something. But that’s not the case now. And what happens then is you are really more available for the joy that really is in front of you.”
“I wasn’t managing my mind or, frankly, my feelings either, as healthy of a way as I do today. I don’t want to pass judgment on the past me – I did the best I could then. But the new me is really new and improved.”
