If you pay attention to when you are hungry, what your body wants, what you are eating, when you've had enough, you end the obsession because obsession and awareness cannot coexist.

More quotes by Geneen Roth
If you try to lose weight by shaming, depriving and fearing yourself, you will end up shamed, deprived, and afraid. Kindness comes first. Always.
Geneen Roth
And.. are you willing to go all the way? To understand that food is only a stand-in for love and possibility and spirit? Because if you aren't, you will get caught up in gaining and losing weight for the rest of your life. But if you are willing, then the portal to what you say you want is truly on your plate.
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.

There have been many articles about the top regrets that people have when they're dying. They are always, I missed the ordinary moments. We miss those ordinary moments, and yet, that's what we're trying to distract ourselves from at the same time.

Meditation is a tool to shake yourself awake.

Just because we form an opinion about ourselves, or anyone else, doesn't mean it is true.

. . . hell is wanting to be somewhere different from where you are. Being one place and wanting to be somewhere else . . . . Wanting life to be different from what it is. That's also called leaving without leaving. Dying before you die. It's as if there is a part of you that so rails against being shattered by love that you shatter yourself first.

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.

Meditation is a tool to shake yourself awake. A way to discover what you love. A practice to return yourself to your body when the mind medleys threaten to usurp your sanity.
Geneen Roth
When you believe in yourself more than you believe in food, you will stop using food as if it were your only chance at not falling apart. When the shape of your body no longer matches the shape of your beliefs, the weight disappears. And yes, it really is that simple.

Women look at their bodies, and they're never thin enough. The financial advisors that I've talked to say they ask their clients, How much money do you need in order to feel secure? X amount. Then, as soon as the client got the amount, it would double automatically.
Geneen Roth
You are not a mistake. You are not a problem to be solved. Treat yourself with outrageous kindness beginning today.
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
If you treat your feelings with as much love as you treat your dog or your cat or your child you'll feel as if you were living in heaven.
Geneen Roth
No act of love is ever wasted.
Geneen Roth
Imagine not being frightened by any feeling. Imagine knowing that nothing will destroy you. That you are beyond any feeling, and state. Bigger than. Vaster than. That there is no reason to use drugs because anything a drug could do would pale in comparison to knowing who you are.

Take time to thank your body.

The problem with fantasy is the greatest benefit of fantasy: it prevents us from living in the present moment.
Geneen Roth
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.
Geneen Roth
For every diet there's an equal and opposite binge (bulimia which is binging and purging is another way of depriving yourself).
