Re: Emotional Effects of Dieting

i think what the wise person can get from this is that dieting is fundamentally flawed. It's been well documented (or simply seen) that it only leads to binging and more dieting...

The experience of being depirved (or depriving one's own self! which is what "dieting" is)is essentially an act of hate. And as such, the penance for that lack of love can
only be to suffer through excess. that's the convoluted way the mind might work when it's deprived of some essential nutrition, and sound thinking.

we have to consider the huge effects of the way 'dieters' are so often people who are starving in the real sense, no matter whether they are losing weight or gaining it.
They are mostly starved of real food. These experiemnts with ice cream, and candy and nuts and so on, seem to me to be more than a little misguided: those in charge reminding me of the kind of minds that experminet on animals and see nothing wrong in that.


Fasting, by contrast CAN be something quite different, (if it's approached not as penance: it's all about where the mind really locates itself, after all the stuff of personality is stripped away))OR it can be yet another form of deprivation, a lack of love leading to more lack of love.... thst sort of auroborus.
