When you damn
yourself with
nasty obesity assumptions, you're in or on the way to the snake pit, the dieter's snake
pit
of
unhealthy dieting. Once some
situation or slight triggers one of these assumptions, you feel
frustrated, desperate, depressed, guilty, or angry. And, chances are
you do something that further disappoints, demeans, depresses, or harms
you. You wake a snake.
