Quotes

"It wasn't until I started to address the emotional eating that I was really able to lose the weight and keep it off." (3:22)

"Those times when we are really eating so much, the sense of shame and guilt that comes with that, it's so detrimental to our overall self-esteem and our relationships. There's like a barrier between us. Not just a barrier of fat but a barrier of guilt and shame between us and other people." (8:45)

"Just somebody listening to this, it is going to heighten their awareness. Somebody who hears this is never going to be quite as in denial in before, and it is hopefully going to start the pattern of healing by just recognizing 'wow there is more to it than I just like chocolate.'" (13:08)

"It's okay to be a deep feeler, it's a beautiful thing if you know how to process your emotions and have a healthy way of dealing with emotions so that you are not overloaded so that you are not absorbing the pain of the world and using food as support." (21:42)

"The key is getting off of the diet mentality. Stop trying to lose weight and start addressing emotional eating." (24:08)
