Message: <blockquote data-quote="Squire Fulwood" data-source="post: 1107714" data-attributes="member: 44622">There was a TV program that opened my eyes a bit on this subject. It was a fly on the wall show where they followed people who were obese and trying to lose weight. One woman in particular said all the right things to the doctors about how she was dieting until the doctors told her that it was not physiologically possible that she was telling the truth. With what she claimed to eat she should have been losing weight and not putting it on.Her job was a road sweeper and so the producers found it easy to follow her around all day and film her. Every time she passed a convenience store she bought a baton sized sandwich and ate it before she carried on working.She was lying to the doctors, to the TV producers and even possibly to herself. She was behaving like two people. One of them must have wanted to lose weight to get on the program but she was gorging on bread all day. That's when I took a different view of people on slimming diets.In addition I had a friend that joined Weight Watchers. She went to the meeting once a week to get weighed. Before she left for the meeting she always cooked a large plate of scones and ate them when she got home. The subject of diets, particularly slimming diets is indeed complex.</blockquote>
