We have it in our head that if we fill our stomachs, we’ll fill our hearts.

We clean our plates, yet we’re still famished—starving for something other than food.

I used to think, that when my old inner demons started creeping back into my life, that it was a sign of failure or moral weakness. But the saints have shown me that part of the human condition is to struggle with the same sins and suffering over and over again. Once I accepted the fact that I’d probably always have to be on guard against spiritual attacks related to food and my weight, I began to really recover.

When times are bad, people feel compelled to overeat.

They that study much, ought not to eat so much as those that work hard, their Digestion being not so good.
