So that brings us back into the momentum of freedom and peace again. Yeah. And so it's not about being perfect. It's about being because normal. This is what I found. People who are normal with food, they still eat. Maybe they overeat, but they don't make it about their worth. They're just like, well, that was, I feel awful. That was awful. I don't want to do that again. And then they kind of move on. But for me it was like, I am awful. I'm disgusting. How could I do that? Right? But those are the things to mine. And look at, okay, wow, all these mean things I'm saying to myself. So, you know, the book is a lot of real stories of myself, my own journey and a lot of clients, you know, and coming up to these moments of choosing to be away from the shame and moving into the compassion.
