“It’s never been true, not anywhere at any time, that the value of a soul, of a human spirit, is dependent on a number on a scale,” – Geneen Roth
There are few things more prevalent in the media than the portrayal of beautiful women; beauty rankings, the idolization of the perfect body, and aesthetic enhancements are constantly advertised and publicized imposing a lack in self confidence in women.
Geneen Roth author of the new book Women Food and God has created an advocate for confidence and is harmonizing the balance between the media’s portrayal of beauty and the reality of it.
Our mothers, fathers, and friends have always told us that beauty comes from within, and yet our diet and nutrition plans always focus on the exterior of our bodies instead of the strength of our spirits.
Our media: the television, the radio, and the Internet alike bombard women with schemes to lose weight fast, give them reasons take dietary supplements, and have suggested surgeries to obtain the perfect figure. But Roth is taking a bold step in the other direction.
It is time to take back our lives from the media and to stop focusing on diet fads, crash diets, plastic surgeries, and quick fixes. It is time to focus on the real problem and not on a temporary solution.
Forget about how you look on the outside for a moment and take a look inside, your spirituality and compulsive eating have a direct relationship to one another. In your spiritual foundation you will find the strength to build a healthy lifestyle. And until you can understand your spirituality you cannot control your compulsive eating.
The book emphasizes that it is not a diet book, nor is it a spiritual guide. It is an explanation of how one’s spiritual base can help build the fortitude needed to control compulsive eating. Most people really believe these quick fixes of surgery and temporary weight loss will solve the void that they feel in their lives. And it is much bigger than just what you look like on the outside because that is done mostly for other people.
