What % of your day do you spend thinking about food, weight and hunger?

People with anorexia nervosa spend 90-100%  of their waking time thinking about food, weight and hunger.

People with bulimia nervosa spend 70-90% of their total conscious time thinking about food and weight-related issues.

By comparison, women with normal eating habits will probably spend about 10-15% of their waking time thinking about food, weight, and hunger.

In my experience...for many years, dieting lead to fasting. Fasting lead to binging. Binging lead to taking speed. Speed lead to taking laxatives. One viscous cycle went unbroken for 15 years.

Ask yourself...Where does the pressure to succeed come from?

FACT:
Dissatisfaction with appearance is tied closely to our society and peer pressure.

Positive quote:
"Never limit yourself because of others limited imagination; never limit others because of your own imagination."
