I hope you find some inspirations in the words shared here. With support and therapy we choose to go beneath the symptoms of our weight and food issues to solve emotional struggles, understand the underlying feelings, and untie our personal knots. Our eating behaviors and weight aren't about food, which is why diets don't work.
Recovery requires rebuilding and reshaping from the inside out.
It is a course involving making the unconscious conscious, seeing the patterns of our life for what they are, understanding their meaning, and releasing them. In the process, we connect to spirit and the part of ourselves that is alive. The path towards healing is a gradual involvement. It is a course of going within yourself and listening to the voice of your eating disorder, being with old hurts and unsatisfied dreams, and getting to know self through direct experience. As we sit with our inner pain, instead of running away from it, we will eventually reach a place of serenity.
