Geneen Roth Quotes

The big horrible thing isn’t the plane crash or the earthquake or the diagnosis. When those things occur, we act, we know what to do. We live or we die. Hell is what we do in the meantime. It is the ways we starve our souls as we prepare for the future that never comes as planned. The true disaster is living the life in your mind and missing the one in front of you Picture Quote #1
I live between fearing doom and wishing for it Picture Quote #1
Awareness is learning to keep yourself company Picture Quote #1
We eat the way we eat because we are afraid to feel what we feel Picture Quote #1
Most of us spend our lives protecting ourselves from losses that have already happened Picture Quote #1
If you want to eat when you’re not hungry, you’re hungry for something else Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1
The truth is that it’s not about the weight. It’s never been about the weight. When a pill is discovered that allows people to eat whatever they want and not gain weight, the feelings and situations they turned to food to avoid will still be there and they will find other more inventive ways to numb themselves Picture Quote #1
If you think your job is to fix what is broken, you keep finding more broken places to mend Picture Quote #1
You will stop turning to food when you start understanding in your body, not just your mind, that there is something better... Truth, not force, does the work of ending compulsive eating Picture Quote #1
You are not your past, not your habits, not your compulsions. When you get to know who you are, anything becomes possible Picture Quote #1
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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1
Its not so much that we believe what we see, but that we see what we believe Picture Quote #1
Just because we live in an insane culture doesn’t mean we have to be insane too Picture Quote #1
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 Picture Quote #1
The problem with fantasy is the greatest benefit of fantasy: it prevents us from living in the present moment Picture Quote #1
Meditation develops the capacity to question your mind. Without it, you are at the mercy of every thought, every desire, every wave of emotion Picture Quote #1

How you eat is how you live. How you do anything is how you do everything Picture Quote #1
If there are any cages in this marriage, it is I who have built them. And I who hold the key to their locks Picture Quote #1
People come and go, pain comes and goes. But so does joy. And if our hearts are closed because we don’t want to suffer, they won’t be open enough to recognize the joy as it flies by Picture Quote #1
If you decided to reteach yourself your own loveliness today, what would you do? How would you speak to yourself? Can you allow yourself that much? Picture Quote #1
The way we do anything is the way we do everything. The way we eat is the way we live Picture Quote #1
It’s the nature of hearts to break. It’s in their job description. When a heart is doing what it’s supposed to be doing, it holds nothing back. And sometimes it gets broken Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1
You will never stop wanting more until you allow yourself to have what you already have. To take it in. Savor it. Now is a good time to do that Picture Quote #1
Weight loss does not make people happy. Or peaceful. Being thin does not address the emptiness that has no shape or weight or name. Even a wildly successful diet is a colossal failure because inside the new body is the same sinking heart Picture Quote #1
Most of our suffering comes from resisting what is already here, particularly our feelings. All any feeling wants is to be welcomed, touched, allowed. It wants attention. It wants kindness. If you treated your feelings with as much love as you treated your dog or your cat or your child, you’d feel as if you were living in heaven every day of your sweet life Picture Quote #1
When we give up dieting, we take back something we were often too young to know we had given away: our own voice. Our ability to make decisions about what to eat and when. Our belief in ourselves. Our right to decide what goes into our mouths. Unlike the diets that appear monthly in magazines or the thermal pants that sweat off pounds, unlike a lover or a friend or a car, your body is reliable. It doesn’t go away, get lost, stolen. If you will listen, it will speak Picture Quote #1
What you pay attention to grows. Pay attention to your loveliness, your magnificent self. Begin now Picture Quote #1
