Meet Katy

A typical ED conversation:

ED: Your jeans are a little tight today.

Self: You're right.  What should I do?

ED:  You should probably cut back on your eating today.

Self: Ok, good idea.  I will skip breakfast and have just a salad for lunch.  

ED: That's pretty good, but if you really want to lose weight you should probably work out too.

 

Changing the conversation with ED:

ED: Your jeans are a little tight today.

Self: Go away, ED.  My jeans are just fine.

ED:  I'm just trying to help you. You should probably cut back on your eating today.

Self: No, that's not going to fix anything.  My body needs food to survive.

ED: But you could stand to lose a little bit of weight.  You'd be so much happier and more confident.

Self: Weight loss doesn't produce happiness.  I don't need your advice, ED.
