When the time comes, something within stirs … we know that we can't go another day without honoring our desire to be healthy, our desire to live from the life force. But while desire is what makes most of us take action, what we really want is change – profound and lasting.
Ending emotional eating has been an elusive goal for most of us. We have tried so many gimmicks that we’ve become exhausted. We can't continue to waste our time and money on yet another false promise, another enterprise that works for the short term but leaves us disillusioned and demoralized for the long term. The End of Diets is not a diet book, it is not an exercise book, it is not a series of vignettes about people who share the same issues. It is a holistic and revolutionary approach to getting to know ourselves and why we use food to deal with emotional discomforts. It’s about learning self-advocacy instead of the eating that leads to self-loathing. It is about learning how to nurture, rather than sabotage ourselves.
This is not a journey for those who are still seduced by diets, by claims that "in a few weeks all your excess weight will magically disappear." This work is transformative, bringing us to self-knowledge, self-love, and ultimately reconnecting us to our life force. It is about eradicating the root causes of emotional hunger. It offers critical life skills that help us be with our emotions instead of eating through them.
If these words resonate somewhere within your being, know that you can choose to affirm the sacred YES of who you are: you are ready to begin the journey! |
