Loving smart means believing in you, your worth and your value.

Reality check: you can never, ever, use weight loss to solve problems that are not related to your weight.

If you harbor hatred, anger, and bitterness (towards her), then you are absolutely locked into a bond through those negative emotions.

You can never get enough of what you don’t really need.

Its a choice. You just have to decide that I’m not going to put my energy there. I’m going to decide to let this go. It’s your choice. You can embrace it, you can become a prisoner of bitterness and resentment anger and victim city, or you can just say ‘I’m going to live my life and be happy’.
