Our inner longings drive us to eat or diet or use certain foods in certain combinations in the hope that our inner longings will be fulfilled, and when our new eating habits don’t deliver and fail to satisfy us (as they most certainly will fail), we become discouraged and frustrated and feel like failures. Then we use food to punish ourselves.

This pattern of using food to satisfy inner longings (for beauty, fulfillment, happiness, self-punishment, and so on) and then to punish ourselves becomes a vicious, uncontrollable cycle that can trap us until we learn to put food in its proper place. Food was never meant to be our source of comfort, fulfillment, or success. It is, after all, only food, not magic.
