More quotes by Geneen Roth
Awareness is a way you keep yourself company. When you are aware you are being compulsive, you are no longer locked in the behavior. You have a choice to stop. That choice--and therefore awareness itself--is freedom.
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'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
. . . 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.
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.

The problem isn't that we have bodies the problem is that we're not living in them.

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.

If you want to eat when you're not hungry, you're hungry for something else.
Geneen Roth
No matter how developed you are in any other area of your life, no matter what you say you believe, no matter how sophisticated or enlightened you think you are, how you eat tells all.

Meditation is a tool to shake yourself awake.
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.

Its not so much that we believe what we see, but that we see what we believe
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.
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
Take time to thank your body.
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.
Geneen Roth
You cannot spend your life wanting to be someone else, snipping off pieces of yourself you don't like, and suddenly expect, upon reaching a goal, to be confident, self-accepting, rooted like an oak tree in your being.
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
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
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.
