Can't we get off the weight thing already?
I know. I'm obsessed.
What's wrong this time?
Nothing is wrong. I'm only trying to figure out: Am I fat? Or is it just that I'm not thin.
I'm not sure I see the distinction.
Oh, I do. I tell myself I'm too fat, and if that's true, it's a big problem. But if I feel like I'm just not thin, what's wrong with that?
I don't see that exactly how you word it matters so much.
It does to me.
Why?
Because one way makes it seem like there's something very wrong, but the other way seems more like a non-judgmental description.
Well, how do you feel at this weight?
That's what I want to figure out. Whether I'm going with that ridiculous fantasy of being like Keira Knightly, or I really would feel better about myself being a little thinner.
In any case, you don't seem able to lose weight. You keep calling me to tell me that.
I know. But I think if I got these two ideas straightened out in my mind, then I'd be able to do what I need to do.
The mind/body thing.
That's right. The mind/body thing.
