Quotes to ponder:
"You might think that knowing all of those things would make a person feel better but you would be wrong."
"Being unable to stop thinking about, monitoring, hating, or wanting to change your body doesn’t mean you’re crazy, stupid, weak, or superficial it just means you’re a human being doing your best to survive."
"Compassion and acceptance have the power to start the healing process in your body instead of just your mind."
