Some of my favorite quotes...

[Guest guest]

I don't generally post here (I tend to " lurk " and appreciate), but as I am

sorting through things today, I had to post yet again...

Some of the most meaningful quotes for me from Geneen Roth's " Women, Food, and

God " :

p. 26 " Understanding the relationship with food is a direct path to coming home

after a lifetime of being exiled. "

p. 40 " We compulsive eaters wouldn't have an obsession with food if we believed

that life was tolerable without it...when you don't use food to shut down, you

actually feel more alive.... "

p. 42 and p. 48 " ...Obsessions are ways we leave before we are left...the

obsession will stop when the bolting stops. "

p. 163 " Freedom from obsession is recognizing what sustains you and what

exhausts you "

p. 58 " Acceptance represents the basic challenge of compulsive eating. "

p. 61 " How you spend your days is how you live your life. "

p. 101 " Remember 2 things...eat what...want when..hungry...feel what

feel...when not "

p. 169 " Teach the art of revering themselves with food. "

Thank you for listening and allowing me to share with you.
