Awareness, not deprivation, informs what you eat. Presence, not shame, changes how you see yourself and what you rely on.
Geneen RothYou are lovable, you are loving; your choices about food will reflect that, if you give yourself a chance.

Geneen Roth. . . hell is wanting to be somewhere different from where you are. Being one place and wanting to be somewhere else . . . . Wanting life to be different from what it is. That's also called leaving without leaving. Dying before you die. It's as if there is a part of you that so rails against being shattered by love that you shatter yourself first.
