Perhaps “The Secret” Is Onto Something?
I thought that perhaps the most disturbing part of The Secret’s message was that the author claimed to have lost weight when she stopped dieting and started thinking thin. In order to make that happen, she stopped hanging around overweight people to ensure they wouldn’t taint her pristine vision of a thin, healthy body. If she was forced to be around someone who was overweight, her solution was simply to pretend the person was skinny… and get the hell away as soon as possible.
Despite my disgust at the suggestion to spend time only around thin people if you’d like to be thin, a NY Times article now claims that there is empirical evidence showing that people who hang around fat people tend to get fatter.
I wonder what happens if, instead, you hang around kind and tolerant people? Just a thought.
