We need to build our friendships on truth and wholeness. We need friends who can be with us in our loneliness, not people who will cheer us up so that we don’t feel it. We need friends who get furious with us when we are not being real or true to ourselves, not when we don’t do what they want us to do.

Your relationship to food, no matter how conflicted, is the doorway to freedom.

Take time to thank your body.

When you believe in yourself more than you believe in food, you will stop using food as if it were your only chance at not falling apart. When the shape of your body no longer matches the shape of your beliefs, the weight disappears. And yes, it really is that simple.

Its not so much that we believe what we see, but that we see what we believe

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

If you treat your feelings with as much love as you treat your dog or your cat or your child you'll feel as if you were living in heaven.
