"They are fat because they don't love themselves"

I don’t buy into we gain weight because we expect too. I have issues w/ what Hays said as well even though I respect her founding a publishing house for metaphysical subjects.

If constipation is an issue, it is likely that intestinal probiotics are depleted. When probiotics are adequate, laxatives aren’t needed. Garden of Life’s Primal Defense Ultra or a similar product w/ multiple types of probiotics can remedy this very quickly. Take probiotics an hour away from food (2 hours after eating a large meal) & don’t take w/ alcohol or antibiotics (natural or prescription).
This isn’t medical advice.

If laxatives are used for weight loss, stop using these. Even if you are having weight gain from stopping, let your body normalize. Eating disorders & overuse of laxatives can be very dangerous for MANY reasons.

Focus on being healthy more than weight. Incorporate gentle exercise like vigorous walks into your routine if you don’t regularly exercise. Resist the urge to compare your self to supermodels’ photographs. Often these are manipulated to make already practically emaciated models look even more rail thin than they are.
