Relationship Loss

Every self-help product, self-improvement resource, and dieting program either explicitly or indirectly points to the fact that we are not good enough the way we are; that we need to change something about ourselves to become happy. If we are trying to lose weight so that we can feel better about ourselves, what we are saying is that our body is not sufficient and that it has become an obstacle to us in our pursuit of feeling happy. Because it is a barrier, we develop a sense of resistance to it.
