Women Who Need Donuts: Honoring Our Cravings . . . and Building a Business and a Life out of Love. (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781504397889)

There is a peace to be found in eating what you love that I havent found in any other way. Not everyone can relate to this connection, but for me, its fully correlated. For so long, I struggled with being at peace with my body that the angst manifested in my obsession with food. I wanted to fix my criticism of my body and my internal unease by eating better, restricting, dieting, getting control. It was no surprise I never fixed myself by dieting. It cant be fixed by dieting. I had to start to eat with love to make any headway on my crippling anxiety. I had to eat what I loved and make peace with my cravings to address the deeper issues. For so long, I struggled with what I should eat or shouldnt eat. It was a wonderful way to distract myself from feeling anything else or thinking about uncomfortable topics. Food obsession always reveals a deeper worry. To eat in peace allows us to get honest about what we really feel. The new mantra had to become What would I really love to eat today? I wanted to eat a lot of things, and I wanted doughnuts. I assumed other people wanted to eat doughnuts too. I started making them for myself and getting them out there to the masses. This permission to myself to eat doughnuts turned into a multimillion dollar businessa sign that making decisions out of love can have great results.
