Understanding Overeating: Shelley Treacher's Insights
“Biologically, we're supposed to just eat when we're hungry, so the rest of the time we're doing something else. We've got a social assumption in many of our cultures that people who are overweight could just stop overeating and do some exercise. This is not likely to be a total revelation or a fantastic new idea to someone who overeats. So I need to explain to you all the reasons why it's so difficult to have the willpower to stop eating.”
