Marinanne Williamson: A COURSE IN WEIGHT LOSS
Ne, nije knjiga o dijetama. Ovo je štivo koje je i jedno od Oprahinih omiljenih jer govori o psihološkoj i duhovnoj dimenziji debljine (zašto smo ustvari debeli, što to govori o odnosu nas prema nama samima, kako si pomoći itd.).
Knjiga je na engleskom i nema je u hrv.izdanju. Pa da ja ne prevodim sadržaj, evo:
"Every overeater has heard them a million times: the admonishments of weight loss. You’ve got to stick to your diet, commit to the process, stay with it no matter what, discipline yourself to "just do it," and so forth. Yet such admonishments only add to your anxiety; if you were able to consistently be there for yourself, you wouldn’t be an overeater to begin with!
While overeating would be seen by some as an indulgence of self, it is in fact a profound rejection of self. It is a moment of self-betrayal and self-punishment, and anything but a commitment to one’s own well-being. Why would you be able to commit to a diet if you’re not consistently committed to yourself?
Your relationship to food is but a reflection of your relationship to yourself, as is everything in your life. There’s no reason to think that you’ll be capable of loyalty to a diet until you address your basic disloyalty toward yourself. Until your fundamental relationship with yourself is healed, then your relationship to food is doomed to be neurotic.
