I remember the years that I believed that once I “handled” my relationship with food, I’d be done.I wouldn’t have to think about it again. And I remember the years that I believed that once I had a glimpse of what many teachers call my“true nature,” I’d be forever awakened. I also remember that I […]

My mother has a name for the elaborate, wrongheaded tales we tell ourselves. She calls them Jack Stories. Here’s the original: One day, Jack had a flat tire on the side of the road. He saw a farmhouse in the distance and started walking toward it to ask if he could use the phone to […]

Geneen’s webinar yesterday was an exhilarating hour, because the questions you asked were profound and heartfelt. Questions about trying and failing, over and over. “How can I trust myself when I never stick to it long enough to see results?” Questions about bingeing, dieting, making ourselves wrong, night eating, and more. And Geneen’s answers were revealing. […]
Blanche, my cat, was my role model. Not only because he swaggered through life as if he deserved treats every three minutes, but because he was endlessly curious about every little (and big) thing. He never assumed he knew what’s behind the philodendron in the hall just because he’s stalked it a thousand times. He […]

Ever since I first saw pictures and statues of Kuan-Yin, the Buddhist goddess of infinite compassion, I’ve wanted to be like her. Not only is she gorgeous — the kind of woman my 13-year-old nephew would call “a babe” — but she also manages to appear utterly casual while sporting a tiara. And here’s the […]
It is always life affirming, particularly in these times of upheaval, to let the mind rest on goodness, on love. I do this everyday, at the beginning and end. In the morning when I wake up and before I go to sleep, and as you will read, at various moments during the day. Don’t let […]
For many years, I was convinced that by changing my body, I would change my life. Because I was certain that my suffering was due to my size, I believed that when the weight disappeared, it would take old wounds, hurts, and rejections with it. I thought that changing the shape on the outside would alter the feelings on the inside. Silly me. […]

INTRO FROM GENEEN ABOUT THIS EXCERPT FROM CCs. Part 62: When I returned from my last radiation treatment, one of my closest friends ended our twenty-year relationship. She didn’t say why or what had prompted this seemingly sudden break. Instead, she went silent. After a month, and in answer to an email, she told me […]
