Quotes to ponder:

“Talk about how your strong legs helped you hike the mountain or run 5K enough positive things about your own body and you’ll internalize those thoughts, which just might quiet your inner critic.”

“There are no ‘good’ foods and ‘bad’ foods. You aren’t ‘good’ for ordering the veggie plate or ‘bad’ for eating pie.”

“Offer a variety of foods at mealtime and allow your kids to serve themselves, letting them eat the foods and amounts they want.”
