"All actions start with a thought. You must change your thinking to change disordered eating."
"Eating Disorders are a result of disconnecting from your Self , and appetite."
"We no longer know when we are hungry or when we are full. We use an external source, the DIET, to tell use when, how much, and what to eat."
"We use food to avoid emotions. After awhile this becomes a hard-wired response to all feelings that we do not want to feel. "
