We eat the way we live.
Geneen Roth
All any feeling wants is to be welcomed with tenderness. It wants room to unfold. It wants to relax and tell its story. It wants to dissolve like a thousand writhing snakes that with a flick of kindness become harmless strands of rope.
Geneen Roth
We eat the way we eat because we are afraid to feel what we feel.
Geneen Roth
Come back to yourself. Return to the voice of your body. Trust that much.
Geneen Roth
For every diet there's an equal and opposite binge (bulimia which is binging and purging is another way of depriving yourself).
Geneen Roth
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.
Geneen Roth
Chocolate ... is not something you can take or leave, something you like only moderately. You dont like chocolate. You dont even love chocolate. Chocolate is something you have an affair with.
Geneen Roth
You don't need a scale to tell you whether you're allowed to like yourself today. You are. You belong here. No matter what you weigh, you deserve joy and happiness.
Geneen Roth
No act of love is ever wasted.
Geneen Roth
Treat yourself as if you already are enough. Walk as if you are enough. Eat as if you are enough. See, look, listen as if you are enough. Because it's true.
Geneen Roth
Ask yourself if you are in this for the long run-if it's only your weight you want to change or if you are willing to use your eating patterns as a portal to the inner universe. And if the answer is the latter, then there is no end to what you can learn, be, understand, become.
Geneen Roth
We're always looking for the Big Love, the Big High, the next Big Thing to happen. We miss what's in front of us.
Geneen Roth
How you eat is how you live. How you do anything is how you do everything.
Geneen Roth
You can rescue yourself. No matter how you feel, no matter what you believe about your worth or your capacity to love and be loved, you can change.
Geneen Roth
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.
Geneen Roth
I live between fearing doom and wishing for it.
Geneen Roth
What you pay attention to grows. Pay attention to your loveliness, your magnificent self. Begin now.
Geneen Roth
Change happens when you understand what you want to change so deeply that there is no reason to do anything but act in your own best interest.
Geneen Roth
If you decided to reteach yourself your own loveliness today, what would you do? How would you speak to yourself? Can you allow yourself that much?
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.
