Here is what you deserve no matter what you think you have…
““Here is what you deserve no matter what you think you have done: You deserve to be happy. You deserve to stop eating when your body doesn’t need more fuel. You deserve to enjoy each bite of a joy food. You deserve to say “no” to food when you aren’t hungry. You deserve your own love. You deserve your own protection. You deserve kind thoughts toward yourself. You deserve to live in a healthy, strong and lean body. You deserve the feeling of lightness and freedom. So please don’t eat some chocolate concoction in the name of “deserving it.” You deserve better.””
