A ‘study’ which some idiot actually paid for (that’ll be us) has found that people who are happy being fat don’t lose weight as fast as people who are not happy being fat.

I’m afraid I have to use the ‘D’ word here… duh. (Thought you were going to say DIET)

Obvious to anyone with sense, of course. If you like the weight you are now, why would you go to considerable effort to change it?

For those without sense, the answer is… because you’re wrong.

People who are “happy and fat” tend to respond less well to slimming programmes, said psychologists.
The findings indicate that a little negativity might benefit slimmers by leading them to worry more about their health and appearance.

So if you’re happy and fat, they want to make you miserable and fat because that will improve your life. Worrying about things that aren’t bothering you is good for you. Well, welcome to the non-cancerous smokers’ club and the non-hepatitic drinkers’ club. You don’t have a real problem but you have to worry about one that might one day happen because God forbid that you ever need to make use of the NHS you’re paying for. Your job is to pay for it, not use it. Americans take note – the British model is one where you pay in and they find a million ways to stop you getting anything out.

But the research also found that people with a happy-go-lucky bright outlook at the start of the therapy were less likely to succeed.
These patients were described as having “free child” (FC) ego states marked by assertiveness and optimism.
Successful weight loss was associated with a more responsible and cautious “adult” or “A” ego state.

So if you behave as the Righteous tell you, you are an adult. If you don’t care what the Righteous say and insist on living your life your own way, you are just being childish. Assertiveness and optimism are childish conditions. Blind obedience is the adult way.

Funny. I had it pegged the other way round.
