Be Kind to Yourself

I admired Jeanette's gold lame shimmery jacket. Thanks, she said, I can't close it. I'm so fat, but I'm going on a diet after Thanksgiving. I'm going to load up, pig out and then it's only 500 calories a day for a month. My face dropped. Don't say anything! It's doctor sanctioned and supervised with supplements etc., and it's really expensive but it's worth it. I'm sick of this yo-yo dieting. I thought for a moment. Dieting is a complex thing - just try to be kind to yourself, I said.
