Guest guest Posted May 21, 2010 Report Share Posted May 21, 2010 I am about half way through Women, Food, and God. The chapter on listening to that Voice - the one telling you - and you think it's you - how fat your butt is, how you are weak and a loser makes me wonder. Do all of us with food issues hear that Voice?? I have read other positive thinking books but this seems to go beyond just thinking positively. Joyce Meyer talks about changing " stinking thinking " and this too is good. But Geneen connects the toxic thoughts to body image and self worth. It's not you talking to yourself, you just don't know that. You think its normal to belittle yourself before someone else does. And you think you're hungry when all along, it's your heart that hungers for something, for company, for a laugh. But of course you don't want to feel that longing, sadness, so you eat. Is it better to feel, or not to feel?? I guess that's the real question. (apologies to Shakespeare) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
