I hate to wait. When I want something, I want it now.

The best relationship is one that does not foster too much independence nor too much dependence, but exists in the healthy interdependence zone.

From Karen Salmansohn

Stop allowing yourself to focus on depressing life circumstances - including focusing on being depressed about your weight. All this negative focus will only lead you to feeling bummed and wanting to pig out. Instead, consciously focus on happy life circumstances you enjoy doing, and create more of them!

From Karen Salmansohn

Often, overeating is a way to punish yourself for the anger and resentment you're feeling - either at yourself or someone else.

From Karen Salmansohn

I recognized that I needed to re-train my brain to stop eating like I wanted to punish myself or punish someone else. I needed to re-learn how to eat like I loved myself, and want to nourish and support myself.

From Karen Salmansohn

Chances are you're using overeating as a way to escape yourself. It's an attempt not to feel or think about what you really need to feel and face.

From Karen Salmansohn

All my life, my immediate response to emotional pain has been to make jokes. Lots of jokes.

From Karen Salmansohn

I feared vulnerability more than my actual emotional pain itself!

From Karen Salmansohn

Insight enables you make sure you don't allow negative beliefs to get permanently set in your thinking - just the same way you wouldn't want fractured bones to be permanently set into place.

From Karen Salmansohn

It's so essential to happiness to speak your truth out loud - because this sharing of your core pain is what creates a necessary healing shift - from negative beliefs about the world - to positive beliefs - and frees you up to be able to fully view life with meaning, purpose and connection with others.
