Motivation is not a "feeling". It is the underpinning force that drives everything we do.

Sorry. It’s just a huge pet peeve. For one, words matter. When we tell people that they don’t need something that is absolutely essential in any change behavior, we create a feeling of confusion among those wishing to change.

If you've spent a majority of your life dieting, maybe it's time to take a break. The next fad diet isn't going to be the one that magically works. Healingyour relationships, be them with food or yourself, will likely be a far greater investment of your time.

Why do we engage in "self­ destructive behaviors"? Because they work. What do you gain? Figure out that "what" and you'll figure out the "why".

Prior associations are strong. It's hard to see the "new" version of ourselves when everything else is the same. Sometimes a change in environment, even temporarily, can create a change in perspective.
