Dare to be Thin - The Past is Not a Sign for the Future
If you are like me (that is to say, as I was 25 years ago), you certainly know how it feels to be dissatisfied with your body, not feel love, or to abhor your emotional eating (uncontrolled.) And, even more so, you know how it feels when you don't know how to change the situation. From my personal experience I also know that perhaps you do not have a clue how to succeed in this battle, and you are discouraged about your chances of finding a real solution. I know this because it happened to me.

Favorite Quotes & Thoughts from Ofira Shaul
- Our best teacher is the test results. If other people have succeeded at something that we want — it’s a sign that it is possible for us as well.
- It is not the calories which make us fat, but rather what we think of them that does !
- Suffering from struggling with food and weight is not supposed to be part of our life
- When I eat while listening to my body's needs and providing it exactly with the amount of food that it demands, even if I eat exactly what I love to eat, I remain at a stable weight (or even lose weight.)
- People who want to make a real change understand that what is demanded of them is to do what is needed and not necessarily what is comfortable. And they are willing to invest in themselves and do it.
