In honour of resolution season (aka. January), here is a timely article about dieting and self-punishment from The Guardian: http://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/commentisfree/2016/jan/10/diet-punishing-body-gisele-bundchen-oprah-weight-watchers. It speaks to how shaming. hating, and punishing our bodies and ourselves can undermine our ultimate goals of being healthier and happier. So what is a dieter to do? It may seem counter-intuitive, but the article suggests setting more pragmatic and measurable goals, in addition to being kind and good to yourself . It is an interesting article that makes a number of great points, most particularly that "you can't take good care of a thing you hate."
