Quotes:

“A lot of the times this conversation goes, ‘Well, I know I’ve gained a lot of weight over the past year, but I’ve had a really tough year.’ But, actually NO, I’ve gained some weight over the past year and I’ve had the most incredible year OF MY LIFE.”- Shirin Eskandani

“I am denying myself the pleasure of living...food is pleasure and it’s allowed to be pleasurable.”- Shirin Eskandani

“Food should be more than just fuel.”- Chrissy King
