The act of eating is a service.

[Monica]

Every time I feel guilt, I use this catalyst to accept the self and forgive the self. It's a blessing really!

I do too. But I also reflect on the reason for the guilt. If I just 'forgive' myself without even knowing what the guilt is trying to tell me, then I haven't actually accepted it, and thus cannot transmute it. It just gets swept under the rug - suppressed - and will rise again and again until I acknowledge, accept and forgive it. Only then can it be transmuted/transformed/healed/balanced.
