The problem isn't that we have bodies; the problem is that we're not living in them.

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

Imagine treating yourself with the kindness that you show people you love.

There's a basic feeling of lack that we want to distract ourselves from. We want to fix it by looking outside ourselves, as if it is going to fill us up.

Hell is wanting to be somewhere different from where you are.

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

Weight (too much or too little) is a by-product. Weight is what happens when you use food to flatten your life. Even with aching joints, it's not about food. Even with arthritis, diabetes, high blood pressure. It's about your desire to flatten your life. It's about the fact that you've given up without saying so. It's about your belief that it's not possible to live any other way - and you're using food to act that out without ever having to admit it.
