I always tell myself that nothing ever is worth holding onto if it hurt you, because the longer you hold onto anger and resentment, the longer you feed it and keep it alive.
Quote by -Katie Piper
What is kindness? For me, it is about treating people how you would want to be treated – but, with so many of us living out our lives on social media, it can be harder and harder to show compassion to those around us.
Quote by -Katie Piper
It can be embarrassing paying someone a compliment, but, in the modern world, these don't even have to be done out loud. When you're scrolling in the morning on Instagram, don't just like someone's photo, but make a point of going into the comments section and write down one nice thing that you see or feel about that picture.
Quote by -Katie Piper
My feminist icon is Michelle Obama. To me she represents the definition of a strong and intelligent woman who has used her platform for so much good.
Quote by -Katie Piper
As well as being my doctor, Mohammad Jawad is so kind and caring and we have a father/daughter relationship. When I left hospital he found out about a revolutionary rehab centre in the south of France and spent his August bank holiday taking me there in 2008 to see it - such a happy time.
Quote by -Katie Piper
I've got a shadow on the lung as a result of being in intensive care, so I find running quite hard. I breathe mainly through my mouth because my nose is damaged, so I keep swallowing flies.
Quote by -Katie Piper
I have been the beneficiary of donations in the form of human tissue and of a cornea which gave me sight when otherwise I would have none.
Quote by -Katie Piper
It shouldn't be down to charities to be the sole help for those who fall through the cracks.
Quote by -Katie Piper
The trial of Olympic athlete Oscar Pistorius has kept me fascinated and shocked in equal measure. But like many women, I was relieved this week when he was found guilty of culpable homicide after killing his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp.
Quote by -Katie Piper
I know how hard it is to be bullied about a part of yourself that you can't change, or just because of who you are. It can turn you into an angry and bitter person.
Quote by -Katie Piper
I meet many inspiring individuals who have worked hard to rebuild their lives after an attack; however, it can be hard to stay motivated when the justice system does not always reflect the severity of these crimes.
Quote by -Katie Piper
Since the attack I have undergone over 250 operations to improve my physical functioning.
Quote by -Katie Piper
I'm so lucky that I've always been able to laugh about things, even at my very lowest times.
Quote by -Katie Piper
If I'm not blessed with children of my own then I'd like to adopt one day - possibly a child from Pakistan.
Quote by -Katie Piper
Of course, I'd like to fall in love and get married one day - my brother has just got engaged and I'm thrilled for him - but I'm not obsessing about meeting someone.
Quote by -Katie Piper
I am who I am and I don't pretend not to be single or burned. And men might not fancy me because I'm too short or too thin.
Quote by -Katie Piper
I had such a nurturing team of midwives looking after me with my first little girl, and their support gave me so much confidence as a mother.
Quote by -Katie Piper
I did weightlifting and bodyweight-focused exercises such as chin-ups, pull-ups and press-ups with my personal trainer.
Quote by -Katie Piper
I don't think many people stare at people in wheelchairs because we see it regularly. I suppose if you see more in the media it will take away the curiosity.
Quote by -Katie Piper
I see it as someone who's been burned doesn't have to be put in this box where they can't be glamorous - I try and live that vision all the time and push those stereotypes away. That's all you can do.
Quote by -Katie Piper
My younger self wouldn't recognise me at all. She would think I was quite serious, organised and practical, but I've had to be to run the foundation.
Quote by -Katie Piper
My life is written about as though I've had this idyllic ending. But a marriage is something you have to work at.
Quote by -Katie Piper
Once my sister was older, she and I would do lots of hobbies together. We took dance lessons and put on shows at home; tap dancing on the granite fireplace, which must have mortified my dad.
Quote by -Katie Piper
None of my ambitions were serious as a girl. One week I wanted to be a lawyer, the next a binman.
Quote by -Katie Piper
I think the loveliest time in our house is probably a Sunday, because usually I don't work, my husband doesn't work, Belle's at home and we're all together enjoying each other's company.
Quote by -Katie Piper
I think the most hectic time in my house is about six o'clock in the morning, our sausage dog starts howling and barking and scratching to wake us all up - no alarms needed.
Quote by -Katie Piper
It makes me very happy that people's perceptions of what's beautiful and attractive are gradually changing.
Quote by -Katie Piper
I enjoy looking good and love experimenting with my hair colour. I've just gone from blonde to brunette, and keep looking in the mirror and not recognising myself!
Quote by -Katie Piper
I was quite lonely because I didn't have a boyfriend or many friends, so I started spending my weekends doing races. Then I progressed to a half-marathon and I actually enjoyed it!
Quote by -Katie Piper
Everyone contacts me with the same questions: how can I be more confident? How can I get over my anxiety? And, without being preachy, I do believe that diet is so key.
Quote by -Katie Piper
I don't have the answer to finding the balance because I think, well, maybe successful people don't switch off.
Quote by -Katie Piper
The main reason I started The Katie Piper Foundation was because I had treatment abroad that I wanted other burns survivors in this country to have access to.
Quote by -Katie Piper
My book 'Things Get Better' has normalised the idea that it's OK to fail and it's OK to seek professional help from psychologists.
Quote by -Katie Piper
Not a day goes past when I don't think how grateful I am I survived, that I recovered and that I feel like a young woman again.
Quote by -Katie Piper
I've tried to stop reading comments online because if you believe everything, it makes you feel like rubbish.
Quote by -Katie Piper
I am so much more than what happened to me. I'm a mother and a businesswoman; I run a charity that supports others overcoming adversity; and, most importantly, I'm happy.
Quote by -Katie Piper
It's true that looks do matter, but they won't give you a long, successful career or a happy marriage.
Quote by -Katie Piper
I really cherish my family life, because at one point I never thought I'd have it.
Quote by -Katie Piper
If I'm thinking or feeling something, I have to record it somewhere. If I don't, I worry the thought will be lost and I'll never get it back again. I never self-edit and I don't write in one place or in a special book.
Quote by -Katie Piper
I was writing for myself, not to be published. I was writing diaries, even letters, to myself or to anyone I was angry at. Sometimes they weren't to a person, they were just to the universe - a bit like penning daydreams or isolated thoughts.
Quote by -Katie Piper
At 24 I was a wannabe. I was not a 'former TV presenter' as everybody says - I was a young girl living on a wish, appearing on the roulette channel at 1 am and selling cordless kettles on Channel 953.
Quote by -Katie Piper
Writing my first book, 'Beautiful,' was the time that I was able to write the truth of it - that I was despairing at times, that I got depressed and felt like I couldn't cope. Writing became about being honest.
Quote by -Katie Piper
What we put in our bodies can make us feel depressed or anxious, and it's the same for fitness, I think it all joins up in this big circle.
Quote by -Katie Piper
There was a time when I'd resigned myself to never having my own family, so to fall pregnant with Belle was overwhelming.
