Am I Overweight?

The first time I ever asked myself: "Am I overweight?" was when I was eleven. Even though I wasn't - the mirror told me I was.

Until then I'd lived in a diet-free world - I never thought to contemplate the question: "am I fat". Little did I know how drastically my life was about to change from that day on! Little did I realize it was the moment in which the next 20 years of unhealthy diets started.

Am I overweight?

But here was the interesting thing... asking the "am I overweight" question only happened after I'd overheard a comment about my body. Before then it my body had just been a body. Until that moment, I'd never consciously realized that I had to ask those kinds of questions about it or judge it in any way.

Those 6 little words I overheard were what triggered the next 20 years of asking myself that same question over and over, and whether I was thin or whether I was fat, I now realize, actually didn't make the slightest bit of difference to the 'yes' I always seemed to answer myself with.

Now, 3 decades later, having spent almost as many years investigating non-dieting as I spent dieting - I've discovered some really fascinating things that have changed the way I answer the: "Am I overweight question."

Don't diet

I thought I could diet the 'am I overweight / am I fat' question away, but that turned out to be a vain hope. What I did discover though is that dieting only exacerbated my problems - it didn't make them any better. And then I discovered the secrets to living without dieting and wow......

Am I overweight and weight regain

You need to become a Diet Failure

I know this may sound strange because so often we're convinced the problem is that we are diet failures. Here's the good news, what counts as real success isn't how much weight you lose. Really it isn't!

The Green Eating Guide


I am a university-bound teenager from the United States. Two years ago I was diagnosed with anorexia, a battle that eventually found me in the hospital.Dieting has robbed me of too much time. I found this website by chance. I've spent a lot of time browsing through articles and reading stories. It has changed my attitude and made me want to be MY ideal weight, not someone else's. Thank you to all the contributors and readers of Mind over Fatter. I deeply appreciate everything you do.(abridged by Cari)

Food Advertising Lies


It's easy in our society today to feel that our value is determined by the number on the scale. I am encouraged to change my mind so I can love myself for who I am not how much I weigh. Thank you so much for your website. It is such an inspiration to me!
Thank you! Rachel, USA
