“What people really want is happiness and they believe that focusing on weight loss and losing weight and being on a diet is gonna give them happiness. When they really take a moment to assess their life and do an inventory of how the food rules , the restrictions and the overthinking, this whole obsession around food and body size, how is that making you happy?” - Rachel Goodman
“A lot of the struggle between binge eating, food rules or body image happened because we don’t understand why they happened and then we blame ourselves for them.” -Rachel Goodman
