And.. are you willing to go all the way? To understand that food is only a stand-in for love and possibility and spirit?

It matters whether you see yourself as someone who is capable of effecting change or whether you see yourself as someone whose voice does not count.

Hell is wanting to be somewhere different from where you are.
Geneen Roth
For some reason, we are truly convinced that if we criticize ourselves, the criticism will lead to change. If we are harsh, we believe we will end up being kind. If we shame ourselves, we believe we end up loving ourselves. It has never been true, not for a moment, that shame leads to love. Only love leads to love.
