Words collected from the Internet that I live by: "Whenever you get the urge to emotional eat, stop, talk to your food, ask it: 'Can you love me? Can you fulfill my need?' The answer would be 'no'" "The way you judge others is the way you imagine others judge you." "Whatever you can change, change. Whatever you can't, embrace." "A moment spent being jealous is a moment wasted" "Repetition is the mother of memory"
