If I'd have known how beautiful I was and how worthy I was of more, I would have chose more.

But I lived this life that taught me that my value was dependent on men, that wasn't loved in childhood.

And that resulted in me constantly recreating these situations that reaffirmed my lack of value.

I'm not enough.

Yeah, he's crazy.

I think, so the noise, yeah, being loved has helped.

Love is the answer to everything.

I sound like the most woo-woo person, but like if we could actually recognise how much love we have, the after becomes less attractive.

So the more I realise how much love I have and the more I focus on how much love I have in my life...

Now.

Now.

Or even then, the less attractive the after becomes.

So that's a practice within itself.

And I have loads of things that I do on a daily to remind myself that I'm loved.

But yeah, Dave has never, ever cared about the size of my body.

Like one of the biggest compliments, and it's probably wrong for me to say it in light of what the book's about, is I had a successful stint in a slimming club and I'd lost three stone.

And we're chatting about it.

And I was like, I got my three stone today, babe.

And he went, I actually didn't know you had that much weight to lose, love.

And I just thought, oh, my God, I couldn't love him anymore because he never saw.
