"The Third Noble Truth: Reaching a Healthy Weight is Possible"
"Ask yourself where you are at in this health journey. Focus on whether or not you aspire to be a different person, to feel better about yourself, to be able to function better, to be happier. Ask yourself what this extra weight means to you, and ask yourself whether you are truly able to let it go.
To be successful, it is very important for you to believe that you can achieve a healthy weight. Believing in ourself, having faith that you can change the habits that do not serve you well, and adopting science-based wisdom are important for successful transformation of our behavior."
