You don't need a scale to tell you whether you're allowed to like yourself today. You are. You belong here. No matter what you weigh, you deserve joy and happiness.
If you think your job is to fix what is broken, you keep finding more broken places to mend.
Ask: is what I'm doing and thinking right now bringing me closer to myself or farther away? Opening my heart or closing it? You have a choice.
You are not your past, not your habits, not your compulsions. When you get to know who you are, anything becomes possible.
Imagine treating yourself with the kindness that you show people you love.
You already have everything you need to be content. Your real work is to do whatever it takes to realize that.
You can rescue yourself. No matter how you feel, no matter what you believe about your worth or your capacity to love and be loved, you can change.
Just because we form an opinion about ourselves, or anyone else, doesn't mean it is true.
You are lovable, you are loving; your choices about food will reflect that, if you give yourself a chance.
If you treat your feelings with as much love as you treat your dog or your cat or your child you'll feel as if you were living in heaven.
