1 " The hCG protocol would revolutionize our culture. Not only because of the mass reduction in obesity, but because when people are able to develop emotional strength and well-being without needing to eat, society would be healthier, happier, and more productive. Eating less, not because we have to, but because we want to. "
― Robin Phipps Woodall , Weight-Loss Apocalypse: Emotional Eating Rehab Through the Hcg Protocol
2 " We need a genuine desire to eat less, one that isn’t dependent on weight loss as a reward. This requires each of us to be accountable for our own emotions, and find happiness in life not centrally stimulated by food. • Can you find a different hobby when you’re bored, instead of eating? • Can you deal with stress without using food as a pacifier or distraction? • Can you create happiness without having to eat? "
3 " To make eating functional, allow yourself to eat what you want without judgment, and limit quantity, using the body’s signal. "
4 " We’ve created a society that is so emotionally connected to eating that any form of restriction feels like punishment. "
5 " As soon as motivation to eat without limitation surpasses the desire to lose fat, a diet has no value, and weight is no longer important. Those who lost fat will eat to celebrate, and those who didn’t lose weight will also eat. "
6 " To realize that self-esteem is just that: esteem fulfilled by one’s self, not with the assistance of some other person, action, or object. "
7 " Until you are willing to independently create inner emotional abundance, you’ll always be seeking outside of yourself to find it. You will avoid what makes you feel defective, compensating for your feelings of emotional poverty, and sabotaging any uncomfortable effort for independence. "
8 " To create motivation to change, you must first recognize your false definitions of yourself, and be willing to seek something different. But this requires an incredible amount of humility to seek out, and then allow feelings of vulnerability, unpredictability, and instability as you intentionally seek emotional strength "
9 " A clear identity of who you are—not defined by your body, behavior, looks, and things dictated by others—is a fundamental part of self-esteem. "
