Satisfying Mind Hunger
By Geneen Roth During the peak of my diet and binge days, hunger had nothing to do with how much I consumed–I ate because I was angry, sad, bored, lonely, or tired, or because I was celebrating, grieving, or getting ready to go on another diet. It never occurred to me that eating had anything … Read more

If nothing changes, nothing changes

Does goal setting work for YOU?

As I’m teaching others to be mindful around eating so they can heal their lives, I’m taking this on myself and what’s come up for me is a struggle around setting goals (wanting things I don’t have!).
