Deborah Kesten:
The way to stop overeating and stop dieting is to shift your entire relationship with food and begin to relate to food as something as important to you as your health, as your car, as your house, as your partner, as your child, and to relate to food not as this product and this thing and this item that you have to have, that you fear, that you weigh, that you sort, that you analyze, but relate to it as this life-giving force and one of the greatest pleasures in life and start enjoying it.
