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.

Awareness is learning to keep yourself company
Geneen Roth
Hell is wanting to be somewhere different from where you are.
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
You will never stop wanting more until you allow yourself to have what you already have. To take it in. Savor it. Now is a good time to do that . . .
Geneen Roth
Come back to yourself. Return to the voice of your body. Trust that much.
Geneen Roth
No matter what we weigh, those of us who are compulsive eaters have anorexia of the soul. We refuse to take in what sustains us. We live lives of deprivation. And when we can't stand it any longer, we binge.

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 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.
Geneen Roth
I live between fearing doom and wishing for it.
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
Your body is the piece of the Universe youve been given.
Geneen Roth
It's not life in the present moment that is intolerable the pain we are avoiding has already happened. We are living in reverse.
Geneen Roth
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
You are not a mistake. You are not a problem to be solved. Treat yourself with outrageous kindness beginning today.
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
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
Healing is about being awake. Being broken and whole at the same time.
Geneen Roth
How you eat is how you live. How you do anything is how you do everything.
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
Real change happens bit by bit. It takes great effort to become effortless at anything. There are no quick fixes.
