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
For every diet there's an equal and opposite binge (bulimia which is binging and purging is another way of depriving yourself).
Geneen Roth
Just because we form an opinion about ourselves, or anyone else, doesn't mean it is true.
Geneen Roth
Awareness is learning to keep yourself company
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.

And if you worry that not finishing the food on your plate is a slap in the face of all the hungry people everywhere, you are not living in reality. The truth is that you either throw the food out or you throw it in, but either way it turns to waste. World hunger will not be solved by finishing the garlic mashed potatoes on your plate.
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
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
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
No act of love is ever wasted.
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
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
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.
Geneen Roth
Healing is about being awake. Being broken and whole at the same time.
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
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
Change, if it is to be long lasting, must occur on the unseen levels first
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.
Geneen Roth
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.
Geneen Roth
Come back to yourself. Return to the voice of your body. Trust that much.
