Geneen Roth quote from today

[Guest guest]

I read this on Geneen Roth's FB page:

" Once you realize that it's possible to feel good by not eating certain things

and including others instead, the compulsion begins to fall away because you've

found something better: getting your life back. "

I think it's so true and wanted to share it with you all. I'd love to discuss it

as a topic on this forum, if people are interested.

Of late, I've found that when I eat healthy, nourishing foods, prepared by me, I

feel so wonderful that I have no urge to eat things which make me feel heavy,

bloated, angry with myself, and weighted down.

This reminds me of 's advice to choose the foods, in the right amounts,

that will give you the most pleasure over time.

On this topic, I joined a CSA(community supported agriculture) this week after

putting it off for years. If you're unfamiliar, a CSA gives you a box of farm

fresh mixed produce and it's always changing based on the season, etc. I must

say, opening the box was like Christmas morning-a mystery box full of beautiful,

delicious FOOD! We ate a dinner of corn on the cob, greens, sliced tomatoes and

chicken sausage with fresh berries for dessert. I feel totally inspired to

cook(one of my biggest challenges with food) and am enjoying the game of

figuring out how to use everything by the end of the week. It does feel like a

step towards getting my life back & I highly reccommend it to anyone who has

access to a CSA!
