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

You already have everything you need to be content. Your real work is to do whatever it takes to realize that.

Come back to yourself. Return to the voice of your body. Trust that much.

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

Be fully present for five minutes every day.

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.

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.
