In one study, a group of pre-school children were asked to indicate who they would like to be friends with from a series of pictures. Every child said they would not want to be friends with the child who appeared to be overweight. I comment on what I think others should weigh. These and many more are ways we all show our fear while saying we don't discriminate based on body size. Our fear of being overweight is greater than any other fear.
Some people never get beyond that fear and really discover who they are capable of being.
What a waste of your valuable time, emotions, intellect and all you have to offer to spend it in the battle, or what often becomes the losing battle, to lose weight. What you lose are some of the most enjoyable things in life. If you haven't seen the movie Chocolat yet, the message is clear. The rules and regulations of most diets prevent us from listening to our most important asset - our own bodies. Don't let Dieting 101 be a part of your college curriculum.
