More quotes by 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.
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
Hell is wanting to be somewhere different from where you are.
Geneen Roth
We eat the way we eat because we are afraid to feel what we feel.
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.
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
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
The problem isn't that we have bodies the problem is that we're not living in them.
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.

Your relationship to food, no matter how conflicted, is the doorway to freedom.
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
Love includes vulnerability, surrender, self-valuing, steadiness, and a willingness to face - rather than run from - the worst of ourselves.
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
We eat the way we live.
Geneen Roth
If you want to eat when you're not hungry, you're hungry for something else.
Geneen Roth
It's important to focus on the good in life and appreciate it.

Awareness is learning to keep yourself company
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
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.
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.
