Read Fat Girl
by Neel
“I was not delicious. I was slightly salty. But I was my own breakfast, lunch, supper and snacks. I was eating myself, I see now, alive.” says Judith Moore in her book Fat Girl.
I like the way Judith explains why she wrote fat girl in the first place. She talks about things like what food means to a fat person. I wondered about this when I saw an interview of one celebrity who talked about his weight loss story. When he talked he made analogies to food and taste. Normally losing weight is a struggle against your love for food and Judith explores that reality- something that is usually ignored.

When you think about it, you eat too much food for two reasons:
- to enjoy the taste ONLY in your mouth (as soon as the food goes “down” you don’t taste anything
- to eat so much, that this feeling of being over-filled blinds you from your real emotions of not being worthy, being alone, being depressed and so on.
Once you become aware of this, you can consciously decide not to eat so much but to focus on the real problem - your emotional pain.
