The american lady i found truly shocking! I honestly found her very repulsive and inspiring in a weird way.
I guess that is the nature of eating disorders- there is no logic to it! Same as any addiction. I don't think it's as easy as saying "how can they do it?". If we all had that approach to eating, none of us would be here struggling with our weight. Whether it be 15 stone or 15lb we all have problems that can't be solved that simplyMe too. Personally, I just don't get it. How can anyone let themselves get to such a weight? Surely she must have felt uncomfortable way before getting to that stage? Sorry, but there cannot be any excuse that she thought it was ok!
This is EXACTLY how I justified things to myself- except with me it went on for years until I got to 19 stone.When I was overweight I told myself I was happy, I was meant to be that way, I couldn't lose weight, I was big boned, I loved food therefore I should be bigger, I was cuddly, I was fun and that I was truly FINE with it all.
Looking back it was not true but it took one photo for it all to sink in.
I was in denial. It was only 3 stone but it could have been so much more if I'd carried on. I thought I was happy though, I had a guy who loved me as I was (or he said he did?) and all was well.
my MIL says it all the time - she uses the word FAT a lot (I hate it!) and can't understand how people get overweight, even by a little bit.
