“If you want to indulge a little bit, please do it because it’s just unhealthy to limit yourself or to weigh and measure your food on a holiday. My philosophy is about being balanced and being flexible.” @Xtal_Rose [0:08:18]
“There is no sense in feeling guilty about eating. It’s just food. Food is meant to be enjoyed. Food is fuel. Food is social, it’s cultural. Just enjoy it. Enjoy yourself.” @Xtal_Rose [0:09:10]
“Real, lasting change is not done at the behavior level; it’s not even done in your thoughts. It’s done in your body, in your internal belief system. If you can change your beliefs and reframe your beliefs then you can change your actions.” @Xtal_Rose [0:18:20]
“Be present in every moment because we can never get time back. We can never get our time with others back. It is our most unrenewable resource that we have. Time is our best asset and it is more valuable than money.” @Xtal_Rose [0:20:57]
