That was a beautiful Audrey Hepburn quote! The woman was the epitome of class, not for her looks but because of how she carried herself, and the life she lived. It's all about how you treat others.
I am like everybody else on this board, I have a LOT of body issues. MY body issues were more a result of spiritual crisis than anything else. I was depressed, so I gained weight. Losing the weight happened when I could be happy with the me on the inside, and had little to do with what I saw in the mirror.
It's like at one point, going outside to play with my cousins was too hard, and I just never had the energy to go anywhere, and that's when I decided to lose weight in a healthy manner- I have been surrounded by eating disorders for most of my life, and seen the damage that they do, and so I chose to love myself and my body and lose weight with that in mind!
It's all about loving yourself! No matter what you weigh, if you love yourself and you show it, then people will be attracted to that, and you will be the happier for it.

It may be said with rough accuracy that there are three stages in the life of a strong people. First, it is a small power, and fights small powers. Then it is a great power, and fights great powers. Then it is a great power, and fights small powers, but pretends that they are great powers, in order to rekindle the ashes of its ancient emotion and vanity.-- G.K. Chesterton
