The relentless attempts to be thin take you further and further away from what could actually end your suffering: getting back in touch with who you really are. Your true nature. Your essence.

We eat the way we eat because we are afraid to feel what we feel.

If LOVE could talk to you about your relationship with food, what would it say?

Ask: is what I'm doing and thinking right now bringing me closer to myself or farther away? Opening my heart or closing it? You have a choice.

We're always looking for the Big Love, the Big High, the next Big Thing to happen. We miss what's in front of us.

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

The big horrible thing isn't the plane crash or the earthquake or the diagnosis. When those things occur, we act, we know what to do. We live or we die. Hell is what we do in the meantime. It is the ways we starve our souls as we prepare for the future that never comes as planned. The true disaster is living the life in your mind and missing the one in front of you.
