128 Quotes by Geneen Roth

How you eat is how you live. How you do anything is how you do everything.

You are not your past, not your habits, not your compulsions. When you get to know who you are, anything becomes possible.

Your body is the piece of the Universe youve been given.

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.

If you try to lose weight by shaming, depriving and fearing yourself, you will end up shamed, deprived, and afraid. Kindness comes first. Always.

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.

Change, if it is to be long lasting, must occur on the unseen levels first.

If you want to eat when you’re not hungry, you’re hungry for something else.

The way we do anything is the way we do everything. The way we eat is the way we live.
