When you don't want to be where you are, you create suffering for yourself. Change happens through acceptance, kindness and relaxation--not resistance, not warfare, not fights.

More quotes by 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
What you pay attention to grows. Pay attention to your loveliness, your magnificent self. Begin now.
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
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
Just because we form an opinion about ourselves, or anyone else, doesn't mean it is true.
Geneen Roth
Take time to thank your body.
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
You can rescue yourself. No matter how you feel, no matter what you believe about your worth or your capacity to love and be loved, you can change.
Geneen Roth
Your body is the piece of the Universe youve been given.
Geneen Roth
If you want to eat when you're not hungry, you're hungry for something else.
Geneen Roth
Change happens when you understand what you want to change so deeply that there is no reason to do anything but act in your own best interest.
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.
Geneen Roth
Its not so much that we believe what we see, but that we see what we believe
Geneen Roth
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
I live between fearing doom and wishing for it.
Geneen Roth
We eat the way we eat because we are afraid to feel what we feel.
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 with fantasy is the greatest benefit of fantasy: it prevents us from living in the present moment.
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
You are not a mistake. You are not a problem to be solved. Treat yourself with outrageous kindness beginning today.
