Quotes to ponder:

"Our relationship with food is more complex than we often assume. Like any addictive substance, food is often used to cover or subdue emotional pain."

"All of us have an inner coach, or 'critical inner voice,' that lures us into destructive behavior then pounces on us the minute we mess up."

"To have a healthy relationship with food, it is necessary for us to understand ourselves on a deeper emotional level or to uncover why we eat the way we eat."
