I love this quote and I feel it really works both ways- we either stuff down feelings with food to numb our pain or deny our pain and in the process deprive ourselves of nourishment. As women we so often have a very self-destructive and negative relationship with food. If we are either eating too much or too little we are focusing on the food instead healing the deeper hurts and self-limiting beliefs. I have said throughout my career it is never really about the food. It is the feelings and beliefs behind the food that are the real problem, the food is just a mask. What are you really hungry for? What has worked best for you to help nourish self-love and a healthy relationship with food?
