Quotes to ponder:

“Food is meant to be both nourishing and pleasurable. There isn’t any diet that will allow you to experience this freedom and begin to feel at home in your body.”

“Giving up dieting means making peace with all foods and treating your body with the respect and kindness you give to other people.”

“Your body will always be there for you, doing everything it can to protect you on your life journey. Isn’t it time you trusted it to do so?”
