Desperately Seeking Self

V brought our topic this past week, and shared a few excerpts from Viola Fodor's book, Desperately Seeking Self.  This is an "inner guide book" for people with eating and weight issues.  We all took turns and read a few passages.  Here are a few highlights:  
  • "Use your problem with food as a teacher or signal directing you to those areas of your life that require immediate attention."  
  • "Listen to your body's signals of hunger and satiation so that you can begin to respect your nutritional needs."
  • "Develop respect and trust for your inner voice, allowing it to guide you to a greater well-being and life purpose."
