Lessons from the Fat-O-Sphere: Quit Dieting and Declare a Truce with Your Body by Kate Harding and Marianne Kirby

JJ1001, December 10, 2009

Most human bodies can bounce back from all sorts of abuse, whether from excessive weight or anything else we throw at it - the human body is amazing that way. However, even the amazing human body can only take so much. This book has been written by youngish women in their 30s, when the body can still keep going under abuse of excess weight. But the more abuse it has to withstand when it young, the less it will able to deal with as it ages. It's like any other physical structure, the more weight it has to carry on its structure (bones/organs) over an extended period of time, the shorter the active lifespan of the structure. It's not like the laws of physics don't apply to the human body all of a sudden. Even if these people are somehow able to live to their 80s, their physical quality of life will be very poor, painful and restricted.
