Behavior Change Quotes

I trust that no loving thought goes unnoticed, even when I do not see immediate gratitude or behavior changes in the other person.

More often than not, the belief that you are bad contributes to the "bad" behavior.

For the vast majority of eating-disordered people, it is something that will haunt you for the rest of your life. You may change your behavior, change your beliefs about yourself and your body, give up that particular way of coping in the world. You may learn, as I have, that you would rather be a human than a human's thin shell. You may get well. But you never forget.

Be The Peace You Wish To See In The World!
