Your relationship to food, no matter how conflicted, is the doorway to freedom.
Geneen Roth
Come back to yourself. Return to the voice of your body. Trust that much.
Geneen Roth
You are not your past, not your habits, not your compulsions. When you get to know who you are, anything becomes possible.
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
The problem with fantasy is the greatest benefit of fantasy: it prevents us from living in the present moment.

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.

If you want to eat when you're not hungry, you're hungry for something else.
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
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. It matters whether you treat yourself with reverence or with carelessness. Every bit of work you do on yourself matters. Every time you choose love, it matters.

You can't be stuck if you're not trying to get anywhere. Which, to me, means that when you stop fighting with the way things are, magic happens. You relax, open, and any action you take comes from alignment with what's true.
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
Bingeing is such an emotionally frenetic activity that no other concerns can exist in the same space. It is a hell that people who are food-sensitive are familiar with and, because it is known, it is therefore not so terrifying as some of the problems that are outside our control. Problems like divorce, illness, death.
Geneen Roth
We eat the way we live.
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
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
We always want to change the channel in our minds because we don't like what's going on. It's uncomfortable.
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
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
I tell my retreat students that they need to remember two things: to eat what they want when they're hungry and to feel what they feel when they're not.

Awareness is learning to keep yourself company
