=>QUOTES WE LOVED by  Rouba Chalabi>=

“Because I over-exert myself, I need to fuel myself with food to keep the nervous system in constant relief. Food becomes the tranquilizer, the energizer and the companion.”

“Overeaters are obsessed with food and confuse it with love, they are terrified of losing their Abusive lover.”


“It’s not the outer appearance in service of the persona of the accomplished woman, It’s really going into this dark alley and seeing this hungry exiled animal that is us and meeting it. ”
