The Love Diet

Book Cover & Preview Text
I wrote a book called ‘Women Who Need Donuts.’ I read through it now and I am amazed at the personal wisdom I had then. I believed my own words then, I do believe them now. But something got in the way. Fear. Doubt and a total bottoming out of belief in myself. I don’t know why this happened but it’s become clear that messages and pain re-surface until you get the lesson. I thought I had figured it all out. I had not. The deep sense of unworthiness was hiding under the surface. The beast had not been cured, the terror of not being loveable as-is was sitting in me, NOT healed. Right when I published that book my dad died. I acknowledged at that time that losing a father leaves a void, a void that requires an opportunity to turn toward something else to replace the sense of security in the world that dad’s are designed to provide. The only option to replace that security, I found, is through God. I guess the bottoming out was the realization that my faith was rocky, at best, I didn’t believe in a God who was on my side. I didn’t believe in life that can be really magical and beautiful, I didn’t believe that things actually work out. Most importantly, I didn’t believe in the God in myself that is my true source of security, faith and hope and magic. This is where I got derailed. I had to go through the fire of feeling like total shit and losing all hope in life and myself to see this emptiness clearly, then dig myself out of the hole of self-doubt and restriction to crawl across broken glass back to a sense of belief in myself, in God, in life. This is the love diet. The love diet is a steady diet of love, faith, listening to your intuition, trusting yourself, your cravings, your choices, your capabilities, your ability to love. And it’s eating whatever the fuck you want.

About the Book
In her first book, Women Need Donuts, author Leigh Kellis wrote about eating donuts, making a business out of love, and allowing oneself to eat in pleasure and joy. She recommended honoring your craving, living, and indulging. Now, three years later, she admits she didn’t do any of those things. She couldn’t even eat her own donuts for terror of weight gain. She faced a downward spiral of poor health, and struggle. Kellis went on a pleasure lockdown because she was so miserable in her body. After three years, she found food didn’t cure her entirely. In The Love Diet, she shares her journey. At first, it was to solve some health issues and weight gain, and this ultimately led to unexpected healing and self-love that were nothing short of miraculous. In The Love Diet, Kellis goes deep into spirituality to find that weight loss and health are not just about food, but about love. The love diet is a steady diet of love, faith, listening to your intuition, and trusting yourself, your cravings, your choices, your capabilities, and your ability to love. And it’s about eating whatever you want.
