Ultimately, possibly the biggest lump I have to swallow is this: no matter how excited I am to be thinner, no matter how desperate my extra weight made me, no matter how tenacious I am in other areas of my life, no matter how much I think I am smarter than this… I have to accept that I may always need to do some, if not all, of these basics. People who are thin “naturally” and don’t appear to do them, either do them and I am not aware of it or they never needed to. The takeaway? I am not one of them.
