Goal sabotage 59 girl had openly and inappropriately, expressed his interest in slim, curvaceous women at every opportunity. With her large build( like him) she was never going to meet his too outspoken criteria to be an attractive woman. She admitted to me, quite openly,( and quite reasonably) that she was not interested in losing weight and thereby pleasing her father and satisfying his misogynistic view of women. In many ways, staying overweight was her way of being an individual and telling him where he could stick it. Unfortunately, this form of protest was taking its toll on her health. Her weight was probably not going to shift further unless she sorted out this protest campaign she was running against her father. But let us assume for the moment that you would not have stayed with me this far unless you had the right level of intrinsic motivation to do what is required – especially if I can make it easier for you. Let us now move into the very essence of our new eating lifestyle.
