It's not life in the present moment that is intolerable; the pain we are avoiding has already happened. We are living in reverse.

I live between fearing doom and wishing for it.

Separate the desire to be thin from the desire to be cherished.

If you think your job is to fix what is broken, you keep finding more broken places to mend.

Women look at their bodies, and they're never thin enough. The financial advisors that I've talked to say they ask their clients, "How much money do you need in order to feel secure?" "X amount." Then, as soon as the client got the amount, it would double automatically.

If you pay attention to when you are hungry, what your body wants, what you are eating, when you've had enough, you end the obsession because obsession and awareness cannot coexist.

Compulsive eating is only the symptom; believing that you are not worth your own love is the problem. Go for the love. You will never be sorry.
