you would continue to live in fear of what would happen to you if and when you did gain weight (which you inevitably will with illness, pregnancy, menopause, broken ankles, etc. You are not a robot). You would continue to live in fear of gaining weight. You’d keep living in fear of what people would think of you, how people would treat you, and what you would think of yourself if you gained weight. And all of that subconscious energy would affect your eating and the way you experience your entire life and body.
