The Obesity Paradox
The obesity paradox of our time in history is that we have more ‘slimming’ products, but more obesity and eating disorders than ever before.
We have more low-fat, no fat, low sugar, no sugar products , but less control over our waistlines. The food paradox is that we have vastly more food choices, but take less time to savour and enjoy our food.
We have more fitness education but less common sense. We have more
quick fixes
, yet less time to be joy-filled.

The diet paradox is that we have more weight experts, yet more weight problems. We have more diet pills, powders and potions, but less wellness. We drink too many calories, yet not enough water. We comfort eat and yet feel more agitated. We laugh too little and please others too much. The slimming paradox is that we have multiplied our dieting attempts, but
reduced valueing our Sacred selves.
The obesity paradox is that these are the days of huge weight loss, but even more weight regain.
We go through the frantic motions of rushing life, and spend less time acutally living. Basically we've added years to life not life to years. We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the bridge to find our kinder selves. We strive to reach outer space but seldom take the time to get in touch with our inner space. We’ve learnt to gloss over everything except our size prejudices. big-diet promises and yet fewer results, steep profits for diet companies and shallow relationships with our inner beauty.
These are the days overweight bodies, and eating that does everything from cheer, to soothe,to over-fill. These are the days of before and after photo's but no after-after photos. The obesity paradox is why I believe so firmly in The Mind over Fatter Program ALWAYS REMEMBER: Living in a joy-filled body isn’t measured by the number on a scale or the size of our hips or thighs, but by the shape of our hearts and size of our spirit.

I got the link to your website from the SBI website forum and decided to take a peek. Excellent information here. I especially like the page about sleep and weight , as well as the info on international weight research . Keep up the good work. I love your bright, cheery logo :)

I really love the idea of doing some 'head stuff' tweaking instead of dieting. This is a GREAT website, loaded with unusual information.

I LOVE this website. It's really thought-provoking, it's given me ideas about dieting and weight loss that I would never have contemplated. It makes such sense in a world where much about dieting doesn't. Bravo! I also loved your quizzes. I will be a repeat visitor. PS I have signed up for your free Joy-Filled Body Tips.

Love your site... it's wonderfully creative. It comes alive and makes me want to live a more joy-filled life and the added bonus is that it is also incredibly wise.

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)

I spent a little time looking at your website and I think it's fabulous! It's so good to see a SENSIBLE approach to weight loss on the web. Well done!Katherine -Australia
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
