Do something you fear, NOT to conquer the fear, NOT to accomplish a task, but to familiarize yourself with the processes with which fear protects itself, to demystify it.

When we come to that compassionate awareness that is not afraid of the fear, that can embrace the fear, we are able to heal the wounds of the child and the adult and begin to live the lives we've always wanted to live.

When we make decisions, about eating or anything else, with an attitude of kindness and acceptance toward ourselves, with awareness of what is involved in our choices, the conflict between deprivation and indulgence ceases to exist.

The voice inside your head is not the voice of god. It just sounds like it thinks it is.

Feeling bad is not a requirement; it’s something we agree to. Cut it loose!

Breathe in a smile; breathe out a chuckle. (You can do it.)

Self-judgment is how conditioned mind keeps control over your life.
