" Food and eating often mask our pain, our inner longing for God, for acceptance. It is key to know our motivation for eating as well as for other actions. Why do I eat? Am I tired, am I bored, am I stressed and tired? A good practice is to live in the present moment, aware of the reality in which I am immersed. "

― Mary DeTurris Poust , Cravings: A Catholic Wrestles with Food, Self-Image, and God
