“We have it in our head that if we fill our stomachs, we’ll fill our hearts.”

“We clean our plates, yet we’re still famished—starving for something other than food.”

“We’re not protecting our daughters if we forbid makeup, eschew fashionable hairstyles, or wear dowdy clothes. The feminine form is beautiful. Sure, we don’t want to hide behind makeup or wear immodest clothes to draw attention to ourselves. But there’s nothing wrong with wanting to accent our femininity.”

“The good news is that there is one kind of food you can never have too much of. The best way to fully recover from a food addiction or body-image problem is to fill up on the Lord.”

“We are beautiful because we are sons and daughters of God, not because we look a certain way.”

“We are what we are, and life is what it is, but God is bigger than any cross we bear”

“We’ve been told prettiness will somehow make us better—and more loved. Do we really want to bear the mark of physical beauty? Or do we just want to be loved?”
