diets

Think about your own life. Are there foods or drinks that __all your name_ in your weakest moments__ike maybe at night in front of the TV? Are there certain __reats_ you can hardly resist when they__e in your presence? Are there __oodies_ that you continue to eat even after you__e full?

Weight and body oppression is oppressive to everyone. When you live in a society that says that one kind of body is bad and and other is good, those with __ood_ bodies constantly fear that their bodies will go __ad_, and those with __ad_ bodies are expected feel shame and do everything they can to have __ood_ bodies. In the process, we torture our bodies, and do everything from engage in disordered eating to invasive surgery to make ourselves okay. Nobody wins in this kind of struggle.

I'd like to lose enough weight so that my bones creaked louder than the floor

Some people who have been working out regularly for months or even years are still out of shape because the number of cheat days they have in a week exceeds six.

Diets don't really work & can be destructive, but if you get healthy overall (mind, body, spirit) then your weight balances naturally.

It's all very Italian (and decidedly un-American): to insist that doing the right thing is the most pleasurable thing, and that the act of consumption might be an act of addition rather than subtraction.

The only time to eat diet food is while you're waiting for the steak to cook.
