Why do so many people try dieting, only to fail? What distinguishes
those who succeed from those who do not? Are fat people really any
different from thin people? What makes us eat, and how do we stop
eating? And how can dieting trigger problems with eating normally?
Originally published in 1989, Sara Gilbert discusses these
questions in Tomorrow I'll Be Slim, and draws on what is known
about the psychology of eating, overeating, and weight control to
dispel a number of popular myths about dieting. She shows how
unsuccessful dieting can lead to new problems with eating and
weight control. She points out that long-term success in slimming
has more to do with individual factors such as a dieter's
expectations, self-confidence, or social and family circumstances
than with 'will-power'; and as much to do with how a diet is
managed as with the content of a diet sheet. She suggests ways in
which people who want to be slimmer can make a realistic assessment
of their need to diet. She explains how individuals who seriously
need to lose weight or change the way they eat might draw up
effective strategies for themselves and prepare for the inevitable
difficulties we all face whenever we try to change old habits.
Finally, she addresses the problems of taking the emphasis off
dieting and examining our attitudes to a slim figure as the key to
happiness itself.
