The guy kept bashing the calorie counting method (my method of choice) and saying "just eat better food" "just eat smarter" "just don't eat bad food" as if you "JUST" needed to hear him say those things and poof, there's the solution. What he doesn't take in to account, and what calorie counting/points counting/etc provides for me, is that sense of control. A system. Because without a system, yeah, I will eat the whole frozen pizza. I'm an overindulg-er. I'm an obsessive. I dealt with my emotions by abusing food, so it's not JUST an issue of vegetables vs. french fries. It's about feeling stable and in control.<br /><br />Anyway, sigh, I thought about this post and I keep thinking about the gender politics involved in the diet industry. And that's a doozy of a conversation in itself. <br /><br />Keep on keeping on!Eileen https://www.blogger.com/profile/08905703089331094936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-991930625265033740.post-56765572728988296642013-04-10T16:16:02.419-05:002013-04-10T16:16:02.419-05:00Maybe you're the first guy to start writing ab...Maybe you're the first guy to start writing about his struggles and other gents will look to you as a role model now.
