Читать книгу Only Fat People Skip Breakfast: The Refreshingly Different Diet Book - Lee Janogly - Страница 11

I’m not being insensitive and certainly do not wish to discriminate against fat people—although I did have a very uncomfortable plane journey back from New York seated next to a lady who could have qualified for group medical insurance all on her own! I do know what it’s like to overeat—regularly and continuously. I won’t bore you—yet—with my dieting history! I do understand that whenever you overeat, you are not consciously choosing to be fat. The last thing you want to be is fat. What you are choosing is to be mindless—separating your mind from your body.

At the moment of reaching for the food you are not connecting what you are eating with the shape of your body. All you know is that you want—or need— to eat something, and you are choosing to ignore the fact that it will make you fat. Intellectually you know this but you are choosing to disconnect as the impulse to eat over-rides the intellect. Then you profess not to understand why your excess weight won’t shift.
