Emotions are meant to pass through; they're not meant to stay. If you avoid your emotions or try to forget about them through food, then they'll still continue to be with you. Process your emotions and let them out.  - Liz Germain

Power Quotes From The Show

"Anyone can be a Super Sister. The concept of Super Sister Fitness is that you get to choose to be the woman that helps and inspires other women and yourself to stay motivated, healthy, and get happy the right way no matter what and whatever that means to you." - Liz Germain

"Knowing the immense pain that comes with losing someone you love pushed me more and more towards living a healthier life, which to me at the time just meant not being overweight and unhappy anymore.” - Liz Germain

"We're so used to just pushing our emotions down because it's not normal to talk about feelings. It's been normal for us to pretend we're not feeling sadness or anger and just wear these masks instead. Fortunately, it is possible to learn new coping mechanisms for negative emotions that do come up." - Liz Germain

"Strength training is essential in some way, shape, or form for everyone. You just can't avoid it. The body needs to be trained and it needs muscle." - Liz Germain

"All you really need is to become committed to becoming your absolute best self; whatever that looks like for you. So, if the best version of yourself likes to indulge sometimes, that's fine. I still do that from time to time as well. Remember that your intentions don't have to be "all or nothing," but make decisions that help you feel happy. A positive mindset will help you reach your peak." - Liz Germain
