I Thought Of The Analyst Winnicott's Observation:

If You Continually Diet, You Are Putting Your Body In A Quasi-famine Situation. It Slows Your Metabolism Down And Breaks The Thermostat. Diets Don't Work. They Don't Help You Understand Why You're Eating More Than Your Body Wanted In The First Place.

Mothers Unconsciously Allow More Latitude To Sons, And Open Encouragement, And With Daughters They Treat Them As They Would Treat Themselves.

Bodies Are Becoming Our Personal Mission To Tame, Extend And Perfect.

Fat People Are So Rarely Included In Visual Culture That Fat Is Perceived As A Blot On The Landscape Of Sleek And Slim.

No One Likes To Feel Helpless. We Find It Psychologically Unbearable And Inside Ourselves We May Try To Make Ourselves Part Author Of Our Misfortune Rather Than Simply The Recipient Of It.
