When you don't want to be where you are, you create suffering for yourself. Change happens through acceptance, kindness and relaxation--not resistance, not warfare, not fights.

It's important to focus on the good in life and appreciate it.

You are not your past, not your habits, not your compulsions. When you get to know who you are, anything becomes possible.

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

How you eat is how you live.

You can be aware of your past without being it.

My closet was full, yet I was always focused on the sweater I didn't have, or on the next pair of boots. I wasn't allowing myself to take in what I had. I could never experience what "enough" was.
