Being world experts on dieting (not!), we thought it might be of interest to share this tidbit we picked up from Psychology Today (January, 2005; www.psychologytoday.com):
“The secret of losing weight and keeping it off may be linked to Albert Einstein, who taught us to think relatively. Research conducted at the University of Western Australia reveals that people who diet often have an all-or-nothing mentality. They see the results of their diets as either a success or a failure.... Most people on diets stop losing weight after around 20 weeks. Those who haven’t yet reached their weight goal tend to consider themselves a failure and slide back into old eating patterns. A more relative view of the world, taking account of the grey areas in between black and white, and between fat and slim, is an important condition for keeping pounds off.”
