Imagine treating yourself with the kindness that you show people you love.

Chocolate ... is not something you can take or leave, something you like only moderately. You dont like chocolate. You dont even love chocolate. Chocolate is something you have an affair with.

Your body is the piece of the Universe youve been given.

Chocolate, I am sure, is the concrete manifestation of love.

Being hungry is like being in love: if you don't know, you're probably not.

For every diet there's an equal and opposite binge (bulimia which is binging and purging is another way of depriving yourself).

To discover what you really believe, pay attention to the way you act -- and to what you do when things don't go the way you think they should. Pay attention to what you value. Pay attention to how and on what you spend your time. Your money. And pay attention to the way you eat.
