Yup, I can relate big time. I too seem to get caught in this logic of "it doesn't matter how I lose the weight, I just want a few kg gone anyway, so can't I just get rid of them by whatever means and then *poof* issue gone? It's not like I really need to diet anyway, I am not that person."

Oh, irony: I saw a roommate struggle with her weight in the past and thought she was a complete fool because she skipped meals, or ate meals consisting of just rice. And then dove into the snack closet an hour later. All I could think was: seriously? How can you not see the trap you're setting for yourself?

I guess it does all go back to those first body issues. The hyperawareness of those early years doesn't go away, and there are always faults to be found or even invented.
