Introduction

Somebody asked me why I decided to write a book on why so many people out there, spend half of their lives obsessing about their weight, from an emotional and psychological perspective. I answered them that it was because a large number of my friends out there who were totally obsessed with weight, weight loss, weight gain, everything to do with weight, calories, body mass, body index, and now the latest silly weight concerning fad sweeping the 21st-century world – body image and body shaming kept asking me to write something about how to keep your weight under control, and once it was off, how to make sure that it kept off permanently.

This book is going to tell you why you should not keep your weight under control, because you are naturally inclined to have one genetic body structure, coming from your ancestors, and based on your locality, your food eating habits, and also the amount of food you get through your lifetime. But as this is a matter which nobody is going to think about, because they would rather starve themselves and want to be size 0, like any person in the limelight, who is 20 years younger than they are, come from another different genetic background, and also has terrible eating habits, this statement of mine is not going to be very reassuring.

Also, I am going to give you some easily assimilated rhymes and reasons, psychologically speaking, why people are so crazy about weight loss. Is it obsession with self, steeped in narcissism, or low self-image or self-esteem, or absolutely no sense of self-respect or individual identity. And the only way a person can prove to himself and to the people around him that he is someone to be recognized and to be counted is to do something drastic or look drastic, in order to hold the three second attention span of the people around him or her?

You have a point here. And as you read, you are going to understand the rationale behind why people behave the way they do, especially in matters of body image, weight loss, weight gain, dieting, and other such matters.

So you are going to say, why then did I buy this book if you are not going to tell me how to keep my weight under control, easily, systematically, consistently, and permanently. Is this a sell, no pun intended.

For you, I am going to give you my reason, yes, this book is going to tell you how to do these things, but in between, I am going to keep telling you why you should not lose weight on the say-so of some person who is obsessed with body image, diet, starvation, malnutrition of your body and they could not care less whether your body is subject to lifestyle diseases brought about through malnutrition and a very bad diet.
