“…compulsive eating is basically a refusal to be fully alive.  No matter what we weigh, those of us who are compulsive eaters have anorexia of the soul.  We refuse to take in what sustains us.  We live lives of deprivation.  And when we can’t stand it any longer, we binge.  The way we are able to accomplish all of this is by the simple act of bolting — of leaving ourselves — hundreds of times a day.”

Quote by Geneen Roth from the book Women Food and God: An Unexpected Path to Almost Everything
