The Eating Guidelines
By Geneen Roth
(taken from Feeding the Hungry Heart -
The Search for True Nourishment)

1) Eat when you are hungry. This involves
the ability (and willingness) to discriminate
between kinds of hunger, tolerating your
hungers, and actively exploring the hungers
beneath the mouth-hunger.

2) Eat sitting down in a calm environment.
This involves the willingness to allow
yourself to feel pleasure, and the many ways
that you believe you are not allowed to have/
celebrate who you are and what you have.

3) Eat without distractions including radio,
television, newspapers, books, intense or
anxiety producing conversations, and music.

4) Eat only what you want to eat. This involves
the exploration of the true meaning of
freedom. It also involves the understanding
that a body constantly fed with chocolate and
pizza will not feel well. Eating what you
want requires making a distinction between
old, childhood wants and the longings of
your soul — and making decisions based on
which hungers you want to satisfy. This may
require some degree of educating yourself
about the effects that the basic nutrients
(carbohydrates, proteins, and fats) have on
your body.

5) Eat until you are satisfied. This evokes
the question of what it is that you want
enough of. It also involves the willingness to
explore the subtlety of feeling well. It asks
the questions: Why is an embarrassment of
riches embarrassing? What feels good about
feeling bad?

6) Eat (with the intention of being) in full
view of others This brings up the questions
about hiding, lying, and truth-telling. It
brings us face-to-face with our willingness to
be who we are and to lead a big, magnificent
life.
7) Eat with enjoyment, gusto & pleasure.

"Yes, you have, and what food does at that point is it doubles your pain, rather than make it go away," Geneen says. "You're still in pain about what you were in pain about before you ate, but now you've added a whole level of more discomfort which is: 'Oh, I can't believe I ate this. What's wrong with me? Am I ever going to get my life together? Is it ever going to get better?' Then you're feeling like a failure on top of the discomfort you were feeling before."

Oprah says even she turns to food when life gets hard. "There's still anxiety when I have to say no to someone," she says. "I still worry, 'What are they going to think' ... [That happened to me recently and] I did not eat a pound of potato chips. I ate a pound of lettuce. But it's the same thing. I've switched the drug from potato chips to lettuce." In that moment, Oprah says she started questioning her actions. After saying no and standing up for herself, why was she so anxiety-ridden that she had to eat a bowl of lettuce? "I went back to what you had said in the book,” she says. “What I'm really feeling is every time I have ever been beaten by my grandmother. ... What I recognize as I'm stuffing myself with the lettuce is I still have that feeling of if I don't do what pleased the other person, then somehow that person has the power to annihilate me."

Conquering issues with weight starts with learning to love yourself, Geneen says. "People say, 'I hate myself and I hate my thighs and how do I start looking at myself and loving myself?' And sometimes I'll say: 'How would you treat a child who needed your love? Would you just whack them around and just say: 'Wrong! Bad. Look at your thighs, look at your legs'? No. Kindness. Only kindness makes sense. Only kindness ever makes sense."

Jennifer's beliefs are similar to so many women's. "We somehow believe that if we hate ourselves enough, if we shame ourselves enough, we'll end up thin, happy, peaceful people," she says. "Somehow if I torture myself enough, I'll end up feeling great about myself and about my life, as if hatred leads to love and torture leads to contentment."
