We always want to change the channel in our minds because we don't like what's going on. It's uncomfortable.

The way we do anything is the way we do everything. The way we eat is the way we live.

Take time to thank your body.

Awareness, not deprivation, informs what you eat. Presence, not shame, changes how you see yourself and what you rely on.

Ask yourself if you are in this for the long run-if it's only your weight you want to change or if you are willing to use your eating patterns as a portal to the inner universe. And if the answer is the latter, then there is no end to what you can learn, be, understand, become.

Change, if it is to be long lasting, must occur on the unseen levels first

Freedom from obsession is not about something you do; it's about knowing who you are. It's about recognizing what sustains you and what exhausts you. What you love and what you think you love because you believe you can't have it.
