In the second book, "What's Wrong with the Diet? What is the role of the psyche?" the key role of the psyche in people's eating behavior was revealed. Harmony in the psyche becomes the engine for future changes in the eating behavior of people with...
What we are researching: What motivates us to lose weight quickly and what will be the result?
What's new: What is the reason for fighting with yourself?
What we will learn: How to avoid self-deception?
1. Externally imposed visualization motivates us to lose weight quickly. Therefore, many are looking for miracle diets, ignoring their inner voice and just common sense. As a result, they have an unhealthy weight and add new diseases to themselves, becoming disillusioned both with diets and with themselves (Author).
2. Body dissatisfaction was the strongest predictor of risk for any eating disorder (Stice E., Marty K.N., Durant S. 2011) [1].
3. Externally imposed visualization. In the epigraphs, you can find the reason that ultimately led to the consequence - disappointment in diets and oneself. The externally imposed visualization of a thin body image encourages a person to compare his body with this image (I fr. 14. 17; II fr. 14. 6, 7) [2]. Having no idea about his inherited morphological individuality, a person is inclined to accept his body identically (I fr. 14. 18). As a clear example, we can say that he wears the model of shoes he likes, even though it is not his size. As a result, he suffers from pain when walking. This also happens with the image of a thin body due to "wearing" it on oneself.
4. "To wearing" it on oneself an image of thinness. A human puts on a different image, not paying attention to the individual size, the individual shape of the body and the individual aesthetic feeling of his own body (I fr. 15. 1, 2).
• An individual with a negative [image of thinness, ed. author] body image, does not like and belittles his size and other indicators of his body (author's italics) (Shen J., et al. 2022) [2].
As a result, the human suffers. He is dissatisfied with his body, which becomes a predictor of any eating disorder. This means that he is disappointed in himself due to the aesthetic feeling of his own body (I fr. 21.5, 8). But then I did not see the aesthetic reason leading to the desire to lose weight quickly (I fr. 7.3).
Therefore, I practiced the consequences - I looked for miraculous diets and tested them on myself (I fr. 8. 1, 4). Attempts to deal with the consequences only aggravated the feeling of disappointment.

5. Disappointment in yourself. Like many others with an eating disorder, I did not immediately realize that the reason for my disappointment in myself lies in the aesthetic lack of acceptance of my body (I fr. 7. 14; II fr. 13, 6). Only many years later did I gradually realize the full power of the influence of this cause on my internal destruction of the psyche.
• It is interesting that the fact that dissatisfaction with the body arose in the first division [destruction of the psyche, ed. author], and then depressive symptoms and diet became the most powerful divisions[psyche destruction, ed. author] at the next level provides support for the dual model of pathology [painful state, ed. author] eating behavior (author's italics) (Stice E., Marty K.N., Durant S. 2011) [1].
