• 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.

• 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.

• La pérdida de peso no hace feliz a la gente. Ni la paz. Estar delgado no resuelve el vacío que no tiene forma ni peso ni nombre. Incluso una dieta de éxito salvaje es un fracaso colosal porque dentro del nuevo cuerpo está el mismo corazón que se hunde.

• Las dietas se basan en el temor tácito de que eres una loca, una terrorista de la comida, una lunática... La promesa de una dieta no es sólo que tendrás un cuerpo diferente; es que al tener un cuerpo diferente, tendrás una vida diferente. Si te odias lo suficiente, te amarás. Si te torturas lo suficiente, te convertirás en un ser humano pacífico y relajado.

• 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.

• It's never been true, not anywhere at any time, that the value of a soul, of a human spirit, is dependent on a number on a scale. We are unrepeatable beings of light and space and water who need these physical vehicles to get around. When we start defining ourselves by that which can be measured or weighed, something deep within us rebels. We don't want to EAT hot fudge sundaes as much as we want our lives to BE hot fudge sundaes. We want to come home to ourselves.

• 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.
