You read Susie Orbach and maybe you realise you don’t actually want to be thin. You know in reality you need to be thin, for all those social and emotional and health and psychological reasons. But when you’ve become thin and been that way for years and managed to shrink and disappear, you can make a comeback.
You don’t have to, of course. At the moment you need to lose fat because you are blobby and disgusting and you can’t feel the angularity of your bones when you sit. You haven’t felt the cold since winter. You feel awful. Right now, you can cure all that by dropping fat. Step out of it like a sealskin. Isolate yourself from food. Wait a while. Will you feel fabulous?
